I decided sitcoms weren't for me.

Dancing With the Stars' is so Middle America, and people take it so seriously.

A friend of mine had his own theatre company, and he jumped me in like I was in a gang. And once I came in, it was just that simple. For the first time in my life, I felt, 'This is a career, this is a life that I think I can grow old doing.' It was love at first sight. I loved being on stage and reading these plays. It was great.

Some days I think I look kind of cute, but other days I try to avoid the mirror.

My grandmother was born in 1900, and she would regale me with tales I call 'Little House on the Prairie' tales, but they were tales of segregated and racist America growing up in Alabama and Mississippi, where she came from.

I think Chelsea Handler is the funniest woman.

Don't let anyone try to tell you who you are. Define yourself.

My father was a doctor.

The president is always made fun of.

Every little kid has always wanted to be a race car driver. This gets some of that out.

America is grappling with cultural diversity, and I just want to put a show on that represents the world in which I live.

I, myself, identify myself as a heathen.

To be known by the public, honestly. People come up and tell them how good I make them feel.

I have a talent for missing the best and greatest parties.
