"I've never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I'm a good person. I believe I'm a good mom. But that's for my kids to decide, not for the world."

"Make bold choices and make mistakes. It's all those things that add up to the person you become."

"To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn't be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife."

"I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts."

"Success is simply a matter of luck. Ask any failure."

"Even in a gleefully negative comic, there is optimism, although it's slightly hidden: It comes out through a comic character's sheer tenacity.

"If I even lose my glasses or make a mistake. I become really disappointed in myself."
