I'm pretty much a good Catholic girl at heart and I believe in family. I also have a basic belief that God takes care of me. I believe in prayer, even though I'm not that religious. I just have that foundation from my family. I mean when you think that you're just a human being and one of God's creatures, you can't take anything that seriously.

I wouldn't mind spending a little more time and effort and money on good skin care. And I'm sure they'll come out with, as they are doing, with more and more treatments that are noninvasive and healthy ways to keep your face looking as good as it can.
I know. I'm lazy. But I made myself a New Years resolution that I would write myself something really special. Which means I have 'til December, right?
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are so cool together.
Night time really is the best time to work. All the ideas are there to be yours because everyone is asleep.
I'm afraid of needles, except acupuncture needles.
I think one of the sexiest things a couple can share is laughing.
If you have a great script and great dialogue, you don't need to improvise.
I only want to write. I don't care about directing, really. I've tried it, and it was fun, but it's not like I have to.
When I've traveled to London and Ireland, people don't seem to take themselves so seriously, and it's not just having a sense of humor about what's around you but having a sense of humor about yourself, and that's the healthiest sense of humor.
I've met people whose accents have nothing to do with where they were born or raised - they want to reinvent themselves.
I'd love to work with Michael Keaton, Steve Martin, and Bryan Cranston again.
You've got muscles and you use them everywhere else in your body when you want it. Why not your face?
There are more and more women writing. And there are more and more good male writers who are writing and who learned and decided it's worth writing for women.
Character roles definitely age better than your ingenues. You don't get to keep doing that.
I think the success of my work stems from being truthful.
I think everyone is born with humor, but your life can beat it out of you, sadly, or you can be lucky enough to grow up in it.
As a teenager, I loved 'The Carol Burnett Show' and 'Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In,' and I lived to watch 'Monty Python.'
I guess the more women are present and out there in life, the more their stories will be told. I don't know. Their stories have always been told on Lifetime.
To this day, I've found that it doesn't matter what a guy looks like if he's really funny. His sense of humor makes him attractive. On the other hand, you don't hear men saying, 'No she's not pretty, but is she ever funny!'
I lived in L.A. for a few months. It seemed like no one there had parents. Or if they did have parents, they would deny it.
I think the best dramatic actors know how to tap into their character's humor.
My crutch was, in improvs, when in doubt, play insane, because you didn't have to excuse anything that came out of your mouth. It didn't have to make sense.

Everybody in my family's funny. Being funny was highly encouraged in our family, I think.
When you're writing, you're putting thought into what you want to express, and then you come up with it - it comes to you. When you're improvising, it's the same thing. You're writing. You just say it out loud right then, instead of saying, 'You think this might work?'
I'm drawn to playing characters who are terribly flawed and have no idea about it.
If Chance the Rapper was on tour in L.A., I would try and play with him. I love him.
From November through December, 'tis the season for 'Home Alone!'
It's scary when you look at how kids age, because you think, 'Am I aging at that rate, too?'
I love 'Beetlejuice' - that's where I met my husband! He designed the sets, so I have nothing but fond memories of that movie.
Insecurity is such a waste of time.
I just like to work and get paid.
Comedy has changed with the times, thank God - slowly, oh my lord, slowly - but it has.
