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."

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 like comedy as a group sport.

Because you want to keep an air of calm and cool.

All that we did was human, stupid, easily forgiven, Not quite right.

If you only do what is easy, you will always remain weak.

You can't control the cards you're dealt, just how you play the hand.
