You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.

Usually, the best ideas come from other people's good ideas, which then, after a short gestation period, become your ideas.

When I meet a new person, something has to be a little off for me to consider them beautiful. It could be crooked teeth, or veins in their skin that are a little too visible, or a really dramatic lazy eye. The first guy I ever kissed had a water head.

I just like to have the ideas. Other people can help see them through.

When people tell me they are going to go scrapbooking, I say, 'Why don't you make it yourself.' It's like chocolate-chip cookies. People buy the cookie-dough roll and slice it, and then they lay it on a cookie sheet. That's not making chocolate-chip cookies.

If I know I have to memorize lines, I'm really gonna try to memorize lines. It's hard for me sometimes, because somebody wrote these words and you're trying really hard to get them the way they said it.

I always find something to keep me busy.

Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.

I've never done heroin or slept with people for money or anything.

Don't answer the door in a wedding dress and veil, he might not think you're joking.

I don't know my telephone number or anything like that, but when I do have to make a call, I just pull my body over to the side and squat. I don't want to be one of those people who are on their phone all the time.

I'd just much rather see an ugly person take the trash out than see somebody really pretty taking the trash out.

I like people who would rather something be discovered than shoved in your face.

Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.

I like dramas and stuff. That's what I watch, but it seems weird that I'd be in it.

I have no desire to carry a movie.

Sometimes losing a pet is more painful than losing a human because in the case of the pet, you were not pretending to love it.

I feel confident writing on my feet with improv, but it's different when you're sitting down and writing it out.

I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I've always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.
