Sleeping is not something I do a lot of.

If there's cheesecake in the house, I'll have some.

I'd rather not have a moment when I'm known for my looks; being funny and interesting lasts longer.

I think children are like pancakes. You sort of ruin the first one, and you get better at it the second time around.

I don't have the best family history heart-wise, so I really try to keep my heart strong.

It makes my makeup artist's life easier. [Plus] it makes my eyes look a little more open on TV, which is where I happen to work right now.

My job affords me the luxury of having help. I don't feel exhausted, I feel lucky.

I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important.

What I like about playing America is you can be pretty sure you're not going to get hit with a full can of beer when you're singing and I really enjoy that!

Frying chicken always makes me feel a little better about life.

I wouldn't characterize anybody who fought in Vietnam as a war hero. In 23 bombing sorties, there must have been civilians that were killed and there's no heroism to that.

It's slightly complicated for people to grasp the idea of a head of state in human form.

One of the greatest things my therapist said to me ... and it really blew my mind in the greatest way, he just said, "Look in the mirror less."
