I was trained as a straight dramatist.

I don't know if I'd call myself a prodigy, but I was a big forensics competitor in high school, and then during college I spent some time working at speech and debate camps as a coach.

I'm unfortunately very verbose too often.

I do have a dirty sense of humor.

When I left college, I was out of work for three years. I had this dream of being on 'SNL,' and that was all I could imagine.

When you have a kid, it changes your life. It reminds you, this is my life now: I'm responsible for this tiny person. It's so surreal.

Hollywood is the kind of place that takes what you do well in one thing and manufactures it so the joy can be taken out of it.

I love polarizing people.

In real life, Josh [Gad] is a different kind of lovable idiot. In real life, he's a much filthier idiot. He has a dirty sense of humor.

I was like a Borscht Belt comedian trapped in the body of a 6-year-old. I was channeling Jackie Mason at 7.

I certainly never imagined 80-year-olds singing along, like they were watching Cats. I'm fascinated by that kind of pop cultural zeitgeist that it's attached itself to.

When I was looking for the key to open the deepest chamber of your heart, I found that secret key of pure love hidden in my heart.

It turns out, after a lot of exploration, that I'm not really a princess. A swell gal, sure, but not a princess.

Our success depends on the Holy Spirit, who lives and acts through us.

Armchair hater, I wouldn't piss on your coffin But when I see your picture I draw dicks on it.

I am calm most of the time.

I have a bee in my bonnet as to how few black historical figures one sees on film; incredible stories, stories from which we are living the legacy and which just don't get made.

The best way is always the simplest. The attics of the world are cluttered up with complicated failures.

A bad forgery's the ultimate insult.

I would strongly encourage anybody embarking on photography as a career to embrace and enjoy the whole process. Being a photographer can be a wonderful way to experience the world.

Nothing in human affairs is worth any great anxiety.
