Every child in America fantasizes about running wild in the White House for a few minutes.

We're all very fond of a black box in our living room that works on diminishment of images, that spoons somebody up in a very limited way. It can be a reduction at its worst.

I would like to think that in America, as time goes on, you gain freedom, not lose freedom.

I like being part of a team.

I don't know if I've ever read a movie that's as strange and unpredictable and hilarious and wonderful as the stuff we're doing on 'The Last Man on Earth.' It's jaw-dropping every week when I get a script, because it goes to such strange places.

1977 is the year I made my first movie. Shortly after, I was offered quite nice roles in television. The general consensus among everyone was that I'd be out of my mind to do that.

New York had this wild beat that anybody could dance to. It was very nurturing to young people.

Anytime I had a date, it was at the Sadie Hawkins Day dance.

What a mother I am. I can't even make popcorn.

I learned so much about life and other human beings - then about myself.

I wanted a relationship like the one my mother and father had. It wasn't perfect; they had to work on it. But there was an unbelievable mutual respect.

I learned not to care what other people think.

Life is about surviving loss.

I don't consider myself much of a singer. I'm a writer first.

I have hundreds of songs.

I'm a late bloomer.

There's just a total boatload of crazy that goes with singing live for the first time when you're 60 years old.

I've had a great time doing it - being able to say yes to a couple of amazing shows.

My agents and managers deserve a special Emmy award for scheduling.

I don't want to go to just watch big huge summer movies that everybody predicts is going to be the big huge summer movie and that are all the sort of blow-them-up movies or whatever you want to call them. I think there are a lot of other people out there, too, that want an alternative.

Will Forte is such a nice, extraordinarily creative human being. Utterly fearless.

'Justified' had such dead-on beautiful scripts that you didn't want to mess with it.

Hey, it's a miracle to have a career in Hollywood. But it doesn't begin to sum me up.

At one point, I kind of looked in the mirror and said, 'You know, you're a mom. You're a wife. People count on you; you can't go off the deep end into this kind of crazy musical swirl.'
