I never get to go to movies, because I'm a mom.

You transition as a mother from literally just pulling a booger out of that person's nose whenever you see one until at some point they assert: "No, I'm a person. You can't fix my underpants on the subway."

I had to get back to work... NBC has me under contract; the baby and I only have a verbal agreement.

Every kid has something they're good at, that you hope they find and gravitate toward.

You mostly know that you want to be funny, know that you have the desire. It's not like people who grow up beautiful and can look in the mirror and be like, I'm beautiful! Funny is more of a journey. And a desperate attempt.

Life is improvisation. All of those [improv] classes were like church to me. The training had seeped into me and changed who I am.

I keep my eyes on the sea, waiting to be rocketed into it on a wave of fire. I'll be ready for it to happen and that way it won't happen. It's a burden, being able to control situations with my hyper-vigilance, but its my lot in life.
