With comedy, I like to not rehearse and just have fun with it, because I think being spontaneous is the best thing for a comedy, in my opinion.

My only advice is don't tattoo some guy's name on yourself. Ever. I've done it twice. Twice! I'm in the process of getting both removed. It's the most painful thing imaginable.

I don't have a publicist, I don't go to events, I don't do magazines, and it's just not my life.

I am a restlessness inside a stillness inside a restlessness.

Parents. Honestly. Sometimes they really do think the world revolves around them.

I've been writing most of my life; it's just something I do.

Tenser, said the Tensor. Tension, apprehension, and dissension have begun.

It's fun to discover things. I wouldn't want everything laid out, simply and too obviously.

Every so often a book comes along that has the power to alter the course of history. Project Animal Farm is that potent.

I am always sorry when any language is lost, because languages are the pedigrees of nations.

If comedy duos don't like each other, it just won't work.

I poke around in the pile, about to settle on some cod chowder, when Peeta holds out a can to me. “Here.” I take it, not knowing what to expect. The label reads LAMB STEW.

'Singin' in the Rain' was the one for me. Yeah. I mean, Gene Kelly could just sway and never fall. He'd just sway and sway as he danced.
