New York is nice, but I don't like it as much as I used to.

My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.

We are 5 percent of the global population and consume a third of the total resources - on some level we should all feel guilty relative to the world.

There's a pressure regardless of that to do a good show.

I walk around feeling a sort of existential guilt all the time; and honestly for me this house is a way of feeling less guilty about the universe.

It is, I think, harder for women. I haven't quite figured it out, and all of my women friends haven't figured it out -how the hell do you do this? How do you work and have families?

Making a movie is a long, dull process. There's a lot of waiting around.

Everybody seems to know me. It's very strange.

I think Elaine would go out with anyone if they showed interest in her. She's nuts. The woman's nuts.

The war and terrorism in the Middle East, the crisis of leadership in many of the oil-supply countries in the developing world, the crisis of global warming - all these are very clearly tied to energy.

It's much more acceptable for men to work and father kids. There's an inherent inequality, because we want to do it all, and I don't know how we can do this all.

I guess if I wrote a book one day, it would be about hair.

When I got pregnant my foot grew, but I was denying it. I've been denying it for three years.

I'm particularly fortunate to be in a position where I can bring my child to work and be able to get good child care. Not a lot of women have that.

I always wanted to perform.

When I was growing up, I always thought my hair was messy.

Even my great grand-mother did impressions.

The Seinfeld motto: No learning, no hugging.

I really do like to work. I will work again. But on my terms.

Doing a half-hour TV show is a dream.

L.A. I could live without.

The fact of the matter is that everybody treats me pretty much as one of the boys, which I take as a great compliment.

The schedule of doing a live TV show every week is very difficult.

I dropped out of college my junior year to do Saturday Night Live, and I didn't even consult my parents. They were very supportive because they had no choice.

If you feel rooted in your home and family, if you're active in your community, there's nothing more empowering. The best way to make a difference in the world is to start by making a difference in your own life.

I've actually considered going with my married name, Julia Hall, but all the paperwork.

Before computers, telephone lines and television connect us, we all share the same air, the same oceans, the same mountains and rivers. We are all equally responsible for protecting them.

Elaine is just in pain. I think Elaine has become very, very sad woman. She is someone who is in deep need of many hours of analysis and I like to think that I'm not that type of person.

And Seinfeld is so quick: we crank out one show a week, and the hours are very reasonable.

I'm not the type to cut back on hot showers, but there's no harm in hot water when it's warmed by the sun.

New York is nice, but I don't like it as much as I used to.

I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I or the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.

Some people can sometimes really invade your space and kind of never leave you alone.

As an actress, it appeals to me because I love the idea of playing those in-between moments, the sort of behavioral stuff that one might not normally see.

I want my music to be everywhere, I want it to be heard. I want to give people an opportunity to enjoy my music, and maybe even hear about this beautiful truth that's in it.

And people talk about the stimulus package and the jobs that it was supposed to create, it certainly didn't have the intended effects that everybody was hoping for or that the president and administration certainly was hoping for. So I think it's time to lay some new solutions on the table, some new ideas.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

In the subprime mortgage industry, bankers handed out iffy loans like candy at a parade because such loans meant revenue and, hence, bonuses for executives in the here-and-now.

At some point, policymakers will get around to dealing with additional policies around climate in ways to incentivize certain behaviors.

For Satan always finds some mischief still for idle hands to do.

Writing is really a way of thinking not just feeling but thinking about things that are disparate, unresolved, mysterious, problematic or just sweet.

Nature does not proceed by leaps and bounds.

I was an only child, and my mom threw me into some modeling classes to get me out of my shell.

I never was the battle rapper. That was never my thing. I always felt like it's enough room for everybody to do their thing. I like bringing new energy, re-inventing the wheel, so to speak, every time I come out.

Even in the very beginning when she would bump into George Valentine and people would start taking pictures of her, she never thought, 'I'm with George Valentine. I need to get a picture with him.' She's like 'oh that's funny. Everyone's taking pictures!'

What comes next? Super Mario 128? Actually, that's what I want to do.

I was always very physical, growing up, and did sports. I like to get out and do different things, and walk in different shoes. I like change. I like challenge.

The Bible is not an antiquated text. The scriptures are the text that will lead us into the future.

You take jobs so much of the time when you don't need to necessarily work for a living, but it becomes important who you are going to work with.
