The best and most talented directors - and I think it goes for people too - are the most confident in giving room to their actors and trusting them.

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.

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.

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

Anyone who is friends with Bill Clinton shouldn't be telling their wife about it.

I read 'Dracula' in high school. I've been around vampires forever.

When you get into your 40s, it's all about lighting. It's hard. You have to face whether the way you look is your self-worth or not. Once you get beyond that, it's all about what's in your heart.

I am not sure gender ever won't be an issue in comedy, because I think that women do have different priorities in some respects.
