I like him a lot and I like his movies a lot, too. In every sense of the word, I'm a big Bob Altman fan.
I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.
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.
If my time with my kids is shorter than it was yesterday, it's better than nothing.
Honestly, because it's my third, I feel like I've been pregnant for like six years, seriously.
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.
You don't want to be the first person to tell your 5-year-old, like, 'You're going to have a life filled with disappointments and letdowns - enjoy!'
I think that people who don't like kids are awful people.
I really love laughing.
I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.
I still have a fantasy of being a musician when I grow up.
There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.
I never thought I'd get a chance to do what I'm doing. It's such a dream.
I thought she was the funniest woman, and I believed being a comedian was the most exciting thing you could be.
