I absolutely think what Oprah did helps. For people to be honest and outraged and show what's going on ... I'm thrilled when people can get down there and paint a picture, tell the story, see a face.
stupid thinking people
I watch people's behavior and notice things. I think that's why I became a comedian. I notice how stupid the things we do are.
mistake people way
It`s hard when paparazzi are photographing every single thing you do. I'm sure a lot of people made mistakes - they just were not documented the way they are now.

song morning people
The song 'If I Had a Hammer' is geared toward people who don't have a hammer. Maybe before I had a hammer I thought I'd hammer in the morning and hammer in the evening. But once you get a hammer, you find you don't really hammer as much as you thought you would.

children glasses people
People are constantly asking Portia and me if we are going to have children. We thought about it. We love to be around children after they've been fed and bathed. But we ultimately decided that we don't want children of our own. There is far too much glass in our house.
