I think if you're trying to be funny, sometimes you're bending a piece of metal in a direction it doesn't want to go. And sometimes comedy just needs to find itself.

I think comedy is the perfect vehicle for that which is slightly beyond life.

I knew a homeless guy who'd give all the copper coins that people gave him to charity. So I think there's something that makes us want to give. For me, it's quite a selfish luxury: you feel enlivened, deepened and self-nurtured by generosity.

I think that if you take somebody out of their comfort zone, they're going to dislike people because they're not liking themselves in a situation.

I don't ever want to do stuff just for the sake of it.

A lot of middle-aged women are children still trying to find their way.
