I'd like to begin by thanking the members of the Hollywood Foreign Press for this Golden Globe.

I'm particularly fortunate to be in a position where I can bring my child to work and be able to get good child care. Not a lot of women have that.

There is sexism - I'm not denying its existence. But I'm saying that I will deny its effort against me. I just pay it no nevermind and say, 'Get out of my way.'

I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I nor the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.

I dropped out of college my junior year to do saturday night live, and I didn't even consult my parents. They were very supportive because they had no choice.

I really do like to work. I will work again. But on my terms.

There is tremendous inequity in Hollywood and politics, and I would say globally it's challenging to be a woman and succeed.

If I have chocolate around, I will eat it. I love it, I love it, I love it. I like a piece every day.

Keeping a sense of humor about life. My parents divorced when I was 8, and whenever I felt down, my mom would remind me that a sense of humor gets you through just about anything.

It is, I think, harder for women. I haven't quite figured it out, and all of my women friends haven't figured it out -how the hell do you do this? How do you work and have families?

Some people can sometimes really invade your space and kind of never leave you alone.

It is pointless waiting for the moment because you are already in the moment so just get started!

Darkness has its own beauty that you can only see with your inner light.

Don't threaten me with love, baby. Let's just go walking in the rain.

And I am pretty sure that's the point of reading fiction -- so someone else can say in a way you never would have something you recognize immediately.

I find that a shirt is most similar to a napkin when I don't have a napkin.

You'd be surprised to know how many heartaches, how many bitter disappointments, how many disasters that seem final when they come, we learn to survive and in time even to forget.

I was snorting a lot of cocaine and I had lost myself to a great degree. A lot of people, everybody was starting to realize what the coke was all about and they were all starting to get lost.

One of my favorite things about 'Spring Awakening' is that it is enjoyable and important for both kids and adults to see.

I don't think my work has to be loved by everyone, and it's loved by enough people that I'm grateful and able to keep going.

Can't nothing heal without pain, you know.
