I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.

I was more of the kind of babysitter that liked holding the baby, sort of playing Mom, and then putting the baby to bed and watching TV while eating everything in their kitchen.

I did babysit a little bit when I was young. I prefer babysitting for babies. I always loved babies. I was not as great with kids that wanted to be entertained and that wanted to talk.

As an actor, when you're doing comedies, you're around fantastic, funny people and you hopefully have a really good time doing it.

When you look at all of the male characters on television and in film, it's not like every one of them are the people doing the right thing that you can point to as your own moral compass.

What I love about our show is that it's so nuanced and feels very real to me. I think how it explores creativity in general is very real.

I think casting a show is an art form in and of itself. We're all so different - the cast is made up partly of real stand-ups, partly of actors, and then partly of just legendary actors.

Twitter's a lot of work! That's the first thing I would say. There's so much pressure to be funny.

Stand-up comedy is still a very male-dominated world. You look at a set list and maybe there's one woman on there.

No matter what you say to someone else, you always hear it first.

You will always be loved, and you will always be in love with love. A grande passion is the privilege of people who have nothing to do.

So... Stop shaking my heart like this.

God used words to create this planet, so be careful with them.

If you ask me why I've succeeded it's because I was in the Royal Marines. You have this unbelievable sense of achievement and of overcoming adversity. That's the confidence it breeds.

Pacifism, to me, is primarily a way of actively struggling against injustice and inhumanity; My kind of pacifism may be called "non-violent resistance".

Superstition is an unreasoning fear of God.

The life of the consciousness is boundless. It interpenetrates the world and is woven in all its imagery. Therefore, we must listen closely to our inner voice.

To read of a detective's daring finesse or ingenious stratagem is a rare joy.

The Iranian government intends to use the nuclear program for peaceful purposes, but must convince international public opinion of that.
