A fan once stopped me outside a theatre and gave me as a gift a signed photograph of Sir Laurence Olivier. It was strange, but nice, too.

I love comedy because I can laugh at myself. I dont take myself too seriously.

I do have a chore schedule - in my mind. I dont tell anyone I have it, but its in my mind.

Im a huge fan of The Odd Couple, yes, and any comparisons to Tony Randall and or Jack Lemmon are completely welcome. I kind of try to channel those guys, and then add my own neuroses, too.

I started on television, and on sitcoms, and loved them, but then they sort of seemed to be going through sort of an ice age, and they started dying off one by one, and I recognized that, and my representatives recognized that, and we said 'Well, let's look at dramas and other things like that.'

I hate to admit this, but before we had a baby I was kind of weirded out by breastfeeding. It looked strange, and I was always like, Look away! Ignore it, ignore the boobs in the room, move along, nothing to see here!

I have to admit: I have been known to be obsessively neat and like things arranged just so.

With classic sitcoms like MASH, the characters all drove each other crazy, and that's what you loved to see.
