When hiring, mix Harvard Nerds with Chicago Improvisers and stir.
Never tell a crazy person he’s crazy.
One afternoon a girl walked by in a bikini and my cousin Janet scoffed, “Look at the hips on her.” I panicked. What about the hips? Were they too big? Too small? What were my hips? I didn’t know hips could be a problem. I thought there was just fat or skinny. This was how I found out that there are an infinite number of things that can be “incorrect” on a woman’s body.
...the Rule of Agreement reminds you to “respect what your partner has created” and to at least start from an open-minded place. Start with a YES and see where that takes you.
This made no sense to me, probably because I speak English and have never had a head injury.
I definitely think of myself still as a writer first, and feel like - with the lucky exception of this - any acting opportunity I've gotten is usually because I was writing on it. This is like a wonderful vacation. If you've ever sat in a writers' room it's the most disgusting, tortuous place, so it's a treat to be treated like a movie actor.

The ladies of comedy now are comfortable dressing up. It's not forbidden anymore.
I like to crack the jokes now and again, but it's only because I struggle with math.
I had a gentleman in college tell me, during a date, that I could be really pretty if I lost some weight. On a date!
If you're an actor and you don't get cast in stuff a lot, then put together a show or hold play-reading nights at your apartment. Make your own opportunities.
You must not look in that mirror at your doughy legs and flat feet, for today is about dreams and illusions, and unfiltered natural daylight is the enemy of dreams.
My work is my work. I take my work seriously but I don't take myself too seriously.
I think the philosophy will continue to be what it always was; which was, let's keep throwing a bunch of things at the wall, and see what sticks.
