Babies are born whole and then they go through experiences in life that chip away at some of that, and it becomes learned behavior.

I was more of the kind of babysitter that liked holding the baby, sort of playing Mom, and then putting the baby to bed and watching TV while eating everything in their kitchen.

I did babysit a little bit when I was young. I prefer babysitting for babies. I always loved babies. I was not as great with kids that wanted to be entertained and that wanted to talk.

I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.

As an actor, when you're doing comedies, you're around fantastic, funny people and you hopefully have a really good time doing it.

When you look at all of the male characters on television and in film, it's not like every one of them are the people doing the right thing that you can point to as your own moral compass.

What I love about our show is that it's so nuanced and feels very real to me. I think how it explores creativity in general is very real.

I think casting a show is an art form in and of itself. We're all so different - the cast is made up partly of real stand-ups, partly of actors, and then partly of just legendary actors.

Twitter's a lot of work! That's the first thing I would say. There's so much pressure to be funny.

I think the good news for me in life is that I really trust my instincts when I come to work. Maybe less in life and in love, but in work and in comedic beats, I feel pretty confident.

There is nothing better than a laugh in life. There just isn't.

The people united will never be defeated.

In 'Pacific Rim' I had to have a haircut I wouldn't usually rock. However, the moustache I had in the film - that might have to come out again. It was a good moustache. Good times.

It was, perhaps, one of those cases in which advice is good or bad only as the event decides.

a life is measured by moments like these

Nothing sinister. Just getting exercise. Although some might consider that sinister.

If there is a conflict between the easy drift of prosperity and the ordeal of peace, the ordeal of peace comes first.

To be completely honest with oneself is the very best effort a human being can make.

I certainly hoped that in the Eastern part of Germany, what was just beginning to be called the German Democratic Republic, you would develop a system of socialism with freedom and democracy.

It's always interesting to play people different from yourself, it would be boring for me to play myself.

A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.
