I think that people who don't like kids are awful people.
I'm always learning when I'm surrounded by great people. In every experience, I feel like I'm learning. I'm not like, "Oh good. I'm done! I don't have to learn anymore."
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 feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I'm African American but that doesn't include the other half of me.
I've met people who are baffled by children, as though they were never children themselves.
I wish you?d come out just like Bob Altman.
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.
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.
To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.
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 feel like I'm a drag queen.
I really love laughing.
I get anxious. That lovely Jewish guilt that comes with ancestry.
I thought she was the funniest woman, and I believed being a comedian was the most exciting thing you could be.
