I loved working with Cybill Shepherd. We had a good time together; we enjoyed being girlfriends. It was a real comfortable fit for us. I loved putting on a suit and tie.

Nothing like falling in love with a dead actress to prove your sanity.

I was filled with angst all the time, but when it came down to it, I dove into what was in front of me, and I always did my best. I invested 100 percent. And that's what saved me.

I try to dress the bottom I have. The body I have and the bottom I have. I have the intention of looking fabulous every time, and I care about it a great deal. I'm very vain.

When I'm not feeling good about how I look, I figure if I just buy the right piece of clothing, I'll feel all right.

I looked at my mom and her life, and I thought, 'I don't want that.' I don't think my mom wanted it, either. I think my mom did want to be out there and have a career. She loved working. As soon as we were old enough to feed ourselves, she was out.

It has to come from a truthful place in order to be funny.

I love being in these ensemble comedy movies. I love working with a bunch of people and coming up with, you know, How can we make this moment funnier?

When you raise your voice in song to express what's going on deep inside of you, I think people just react to that because it's so truthful. It's so raw.

I never thought I would work with Meryl Streep. I also love Cate Blanchett.

I'm fascinated by Greta Garbo. My cat's named Greta, and I have a framed photograph of her from 1949.

In Chicago, actors start up companies and get together and produce things, and there's a really rich, vibrant non-Equity theater scene out there.

A lot of the songs in 'See Jane Sing!' are pulled straight from the kitchen table and my parents harmonizing together.

I'm an actor more than anything else.

I've actually never done standup before.

The more I become comfortable in my own skin, I think the funnier I become.

Once you start classifying and trying to identify your own comedy style, you've ceased to be funny.

The world, universe, God, whatever you call it, has so much more in store if you just sit back and relax and do what's right in front of you.

It's really fun to come to the same place to work every day.

I worried too much when I was a kid.

I've never been a cheerleader. It's so outside of my range of things I could ever do.

I love being the villain.

The funniest people are usually the best actors, I believe.

I don't really sit there and think, 'What would I like my life to be?'
