I remember my dad turning to me - my dad loves to turn to me and explain why things are funny. He used to do that with Seinfeld all the time. He did it with Colombo, too, set the scene.

I like things that are immature and offbeat and bizarre. Random jokes. Weird stuff. And stupid. Stupid is the highest compliment a person can pay to me.

If had a penny for every strange look I've gotten from strangers on the street I'd have about 10 to 15 dollars, which is a lot when you're dealing with pennies.

It's just cool to be involved in something that's that big and joyous and meant to make people feel happy.

I'm a tearless clown. If I were to get a tattoo, it would be the two masks, and they would be both smiling.

I didn't realize how much people liked to bash SNL until I was on. I've always just liked it, and I've always watched it and been into it.

I do a lot of laughing at my own self in life, so I think I come at things with a pretty easygoing view.

I'm a comedian, and I decided I wanted to be a comedian when I was eight years old watching old Saturday Night Live episodes. I never decided to be a rapper because I'm not a rapper.

If I was any more on edge, I'd be Bono.

As long as I get to be doing what I love, which is making comedy and that kind of thing, I feel lucky that I get to.

People will tell me, "Oh, my kid watches your show on their iPad, over and over again until they memorize." And I'm like, "Wow, I was that kid watching other shows. That's the coolest!"

The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.

Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.

I've already been married six times in my career as an actress - twice as Becky - so I think a wedding of my own might feel too much like work!

When our worries and fears just don't make sense, it's possible we are trusting the part of the brain that doesn't make sense... it just reacts.

I cannot express it: but surely you and everybody have a notion that there is, or should be, an existence of yours beyond you.

Death and the sun are not to be looked at steadily.

One can lead a nation only by helping it see a bright outlook. A leader is a dealer in hope.

The amount of energy spent laughing at a joke should be directly proportional to the hierarchical status of the joke teller.
