"'Constitutional' is just a real pip of a word. Positively rolls off the tongue. In fact, it's downright fun to say. 'Con-stit-too-shun-al.' It's the verbal equivalent of skipping down the street with an ice cream cone in your hand. It's like a semantic bag of Lays potato chips. You simply can't just say it once."

"The dueling maturity levels in high school is such a source of comedy to me. I was always such a late developer. I was last to walk. I was last to ride a bike. I was last to have sex. That's why it's fun to portray one side of your childhood onscreen."

"You want a happy ending, but not such a ridiculous happy ending that it doesn't mean anything to anybody."

"Forty is the line of demarcation that says you're an adult now. You're an adult, so don't pretend you're a kid anymore."

"The funny thing is, Dennis Miller got me back into comedy."

"It's funny that all these goths paint their faces with such white make-up and that is the actual colour of my skin, I am that pale!"

"Since it's based on my parents, it's more emotionally close to me than some of my more surreal plays. And then I like the balance of the comic and the sad. It should play as funny, but you should care about the characters and feel sad for them."

"Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine."
