Quote

I never pursued anything but acting. But as a kid, I was really interested in the Supreme Court. I wanted to to be a Supreme Court justice, but didn't want to be a lawyer. I just wanted to go straight to being a justice.

I think that it is important to establish a world of place for the characters in improv and there is nothing to be gained from disagreeing about that.

It's really amazing to be a part of something that people have an emotional response to, even though it's a network sitcom.

That's really fulfilling.
