I don't look my best when I wake up! But I do feel beautiful when I'm tired and happy and I've had a good laugh and a glass of champagne.
I like being a funny lady. I think theres nothing sexier than a funny lady.
I don't know if comedy is a male sport. I always wondered that.
I never thought I'd get a chance to do what I'm doing. It's such a dream.
I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.
Lord knows I had what you could call many fashion Don'ts in my day.
Before I had children, everything about my life was devoted to Saturday Night Live.
I've never set out to write a funny movie or be a funny comedian as a woman. I am a woman. I don't really have a choice in the matter. My goal is just to be funny.
When I first moved to New York, someone who thought they knew more than I did said: "You have to always look like you know where you're going when you get out of the subway."
Honestly, because it's my third, I feel like I've been pregnant for like six years, seriously.
If my time with my kids is shorter than it was yesterday, it's better than nothing.
Most of my life I didn't feel very normal. There's definitely been some moments where I feel like, all right, I've finally graduated and I'm a normal lady.
And in improvisation there is one hard and fast rule, and that rule is known as 'Yes And'. The term yes and: to say yes, and not just yes, but to add information. In the adding of information you don't negate the other persons idea - but you build on it.
The thing you can do better than anyone else is love your children, because they're your children.
