You have to have faith that there is a reason you go through certain things. I can't say I'm glad to go through pain, but in a way one must, in order to gain courage and really feel joy.
Before you go to bed, write down three 'gratefuls' for the day and three 'did wells' (they can even include something as simple as doing the laundry)-the results can be amazing!
Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.
When you have a dream, you've got to grab it and never let go.
People invite me to dinner not because I cook, but because I like to clean up. I get immediate gratification from Windex. Yes, I do windows.
I'm so happy that we can share the many years of music and sketches from our shows with the students of UCLA and people interested in the entertainment industry,
This has been one of the best times of my life, to meet you and spend time in the town my grandmother told me so much about,
I was kind of shy as a kid. I was a pretty good student. I was a wallflower, or nerd, if you will.
I do the 'New York Times' crossword puzzle every morning to keep the old grey matter ticking.
My childhood was rough, we were poor and my parents were alcoholics, but nobody was mean. I knew I was loved. We were on welfare, but I never felt abandoned or unloved.
On the good days, my mother would haul out the ukulele and we'd sit around the kitchen table - it was a cardboard table with a linoleum top - and sing.
I'm not always optimistic. You wouldn't have all cylinders cooking if you were always like Mary Poppins.
My grandmother and I would go see movies, and we'd come back to the apartment - we had a one-room apartment in Hollywood - and I would kind of lock myself in this little dressing room area with a cracked mirror on the door and act out what I had just seen.
Everybody I know who is funny, it's in them. You can teach timing, or some people are able to tell a joke, though I don't like to tell jokes. But I think you have to be born with a sense of humor and a sense of timing.
