This is an embarrassment of riches, and boy, am I happy to be embarrassed.

I'm particularly fortunate to be in a position where I can bring my child to work and be able to get good child care. Not a lot of women have that.

There is sexism - I'm not denying its existence. But I'm saying that I will deny its effort against me. I just pay it no nevermind and say, 'Get out of my way.'

I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I nor the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.

If I have chocolate around, I will eat it. I love it, I love it, I love it. I like a piece every day.

Keeping a sense of humor about life. My parents divorced when I was 8, and whenever I felt down, my mom would remind me that a sense of humor gets you through just about anything.

You're only poor if you give up. The most important thing is that you did something. Most people only talk and dream of getting rich. You've done something. Keep going. Don't quit.

Some guy hit my fender the other day and I said unto him "Be fruitful and multiply." But not in those words.

Parenting is tough.

The real art is not to come up with extraordinary clever words but to make ordinary simple words do extraordinary things. To use the language that we all use and to make amazing things occur.

To me Donnie Darko was about adolescence. And about how, as soon as you start to grow up and you sort of move out into the world, you realize everything is so trippy. That anything can be anything.

I think American television changed world television in its reinvention of the series.

A hippie is someone who looks like Tarzan, walks like Jane and smells like Cheetah.

The best of life is always ahead, always further along.
