I love playing moms. It's a lot easier than being a mom, I hear.

My mother keeps me abreast of all the hometown things.

I think comedy is one of the hardest things to do.

Usually, when you're working is when people want you to work. They don't want you as much when you're not working. That's the frustrating nature of our business.

I have a friend that has five kids and she went through a trial separation with her husband, and she didn't have time to be upset. Every now and then, she'd call me on the cell phone and just cry.

It takes a lot of energy to work, in general, especially if you're the lead in something.

I haven't spoken to my wife in years. I didn't want to interrupt her.

If I'm enjoying myself, I find my opportunities for more fun become greater.

End-users not technologies shape the market. Consequently marketers need to stay abreast not only of technological developments but also of the way people respond to them.

You get to choose what you want, but you must get clear about what you want.

Where we focus our energy is where we will get the results.
