'Saturday Night Live' will always be this amazing, powerful behemoth, but it's also not the only thing happening in comedy anymore.

That was something that I learned: It's actually okay if the way that I do my best is when I'm treated well.

You're always putting yourself into your work. There's no separation; it's just how you use yourself and transform.

I always thought that farts were funny, and I always thought that they were mine to talk about because they came out of my body.

Usually what is difficult for me are things that make me feel scared. That's when difficulties rather than challenges arise.

I really like working. I can't think of a job I didn't like. I was in an Alvin and the Chipmunks movie, which is not my idea of folk art; but I really enjoyed making it, and everyone was really nice.

I love waking up in the morning. It makes me feel really excited.

My baseline function is I'm usually really happy and optimistic. I think I really genuinely like being alive, and I've got a spring in my step - that's what I've been like all my life.

I don't have any horror stories of trying to start as a comedian and eating it constantly on stage.

Back at high school, there was this quarterback who asks me out. He's never paid attention to me before, but now we're on this date, going to see the 'Sixth Sense.' And right before the climax, he leans in - and I'm so excited, because I think we're going to French-kiss - and then he tells me the twist. He completely ruins the movie for me.

It's exciting to play someone who is a bit tougher than I am. I liked feeling those adjustments.

I'm usually a fairly harsh critic. It depends. I tend to really not watch my work, because I just feel uncomfortable, and I can be highly critical.

I just really like it when things are earnest.

Women love to be asked more about their clothes than their work. We're dolls; we made a wish to become alive.

You are not waiting for your life to start. It's going on right now.

I've become very interested in the ways things can change even with someone you've known for many years and you've committed to for life. How drastic can you damage things in the way you speak to someone?

There's so much interference, so much static and people's voices talking about what you do and why you do it that I've learned to be like, 'No, no.' It's actually simple. I just do this.

I hope that the restaurant I go to will have buffalo chicken fingers. I hope that one day I can work with Matt Damon. I have big and little dreams, and they're all equally important to me. A life without buffalo chicken fingers, I don't know if I would want that life. Even if it meant I got to work with Matt Damon. Everything has its worth.

If I'm not the best aunt in America, then I don't know what's going on.

We can be so hard on ourselves. And other people can, too - there's so much criticism out there!

I'm so thrilled to get to raise my kids in the environment that they are in. I think it's easy just to imagine that all these kids are spoiled and entitled. Part of what makes me be strong with my kids is the fact that I'm surrounded by other really firm strong moms.

We do a lot of crafting at our house. I don't even know how it got started because if you ask me, 'Are you crafty?' I would say, 'No...' but it's something that we just do.

People have pain - they do regrettable things, they feel shame, and shame equals pain.

There's just nothing like sharing the spotlight or anything else with your sisters and your mom. It's always fun for me to get my sisters dolled up and my mom.
