I'm constantly on the brink of tears in conversation about things that happen to people.

I'm a huge fan of basically anything written about complicated, contradictory women. I'm drawn to them really quickly.

I have a real aversion to sentimentality, but I also really want to write about love and friendship.

Actually, my worst nightmare is losing my best friend, as I imagine most people's are.

I suppose every time [something bad happens], I have that instinct to make that joke that distracts.

I've always wanted to work for, like, "Assume your audience is cleverer than you," rather than the other way around.

I think a lot of time, I'm just writing my worst fears.

I know actors who say acting is acting, but I love the live-ness of an audience. I love feeling the energy of a room and allowing them to sort of teach you how to do it better.

I feel like my home is stage acting.

Death takes in many people, but still lives alone.

You chase off every man that’s ever been interested, and you do it without even trying.

There are two things for a marriage to be good. One is to work hard on it. The other one is to marry above you. And I succeeded at both of those.

I love my dad. He used to be a professional wrestler in Mexico. So it was cool growing up with him, because when he hit us, he didn't really hit us.

The truth is there's so many great TV shows out there now that none of us take absence of awards personally. The most important feedback is the feedback we get from the fans.

Exercise and temperance can preserve something of our early strength even in old age.

I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.

We walk alone in the world.

Age is deformed, youth unkind, We scorn their bodies, they our mind.

When I forget the gospel I become dependent on the smiles and evaluation of others.
