I work, and then whenever I have any other time, I'm with my daughter, and then I go to sleep. I think you basically have to abandon the dreams of having any other adult activities in your life. You have to go to sleep whenever your child goes to sleep. That's basically how we're doing it.

One of the great things about doing animated movies is that you don't have to dress up or put on make-up.

There are a couple of things I want to impart to ladies who want to be in comedy: One, you don’t have to be weird or be quirky to get your job done. And two, comedy skill is not sexually transmittable. You do not have to sleep with a comedian to learn what you’re doing. Male comedians will not like that advice, but it is the truth.

I really like John McCain. He's an awesome dude and was a lot of fun when he hosted SNL. I'd love to see a McCain-Giuliani rage ticket.

Seriously, I've just realized that almost everyone is a fraud, so I try not to feel too bad about it.

Politics and prostitution have to be the only jobs where inexperience is considered a virtue. In what other profession would you brag about not knowing stuff? “I’m not one of those fancy Harvard heart surgeons. I’m just an unlicensed plumber with a dream and I’d like to cut your chest open.” The crowd cheers.

In Into the Woods, Cinderella runs from her prince, Rapunzel is thrown from a tower for her prince, and Sleeping Beauty just thought she was getting coffee with Bill Cosby.

You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.

When I first set out to ruin SNL, I didn't think anyone would notice, but I persevered because - like you trying to do a nine-piece jigsaw puzzle - it was a labour of love.

I was a very confident little kid.

When you go into something where you can really trust that everyone has thought about it, more than you have even, then that's like a gift.

I don't like my feet. I'm not crazy about anybody's feet. But I have flat feet.

I'm not that good looking... nobody is that good looking. I have seen a lot of movie stars, and maybe four are amazing looking. The rest have a team of gay guys who make it happen.
