Because you want to keep an air of calm and cool.

I would love it if you would come in and teach me how to really do you.

Because you want to keep an air of calm and cool.

No, no, no. Your accent is so beautiful.

Before I had children, everything about my life was devoted to Saturday Night Live.

I don't know if comedy is a male sport. I always wondered that.

I feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I'm African American but that doesn't include the other half of me.

I feel like I'm a drag queen.

I get anxious. That lovely Jewish guilt that comes with ancestry.

I have an equal opportunity womb!

I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.

I like comedy as a group sport.

I never thought I'd get a chance to do what I'm doing. It's such a dream.

I really love laughing.

I still have a fantasy of being a musician when I grow up.

I think that people who don't like kids are awful people.

I was a loud child, and if my mother sang to me, I would be quiet.

I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.

I've met people who are baffled by children, as though they were never children themselves.

I've never set out to write a funny movie or be a funny comedian as a woman. I am a woman. I don't really have a choice in the matter. My goal is just to be funny.

If my time with my kids is shorter than it was yesterday, it's better than nothing.

Lord knows I had what you could call many fashion Don'ts in my day.

Most of my life I didn't feel very normal. There's definitely been some moments where I feel like, all right, I've finally graduated and I'm a normal lady.

There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.

To grow up with the loss of your mother is a scar that never goes away.

To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.

Without a doubt in sketch comedy there are fewer women than men.

You don't want to be the first person to tell your 5-year-old, like, 'You're going to have a life filled with disappointments and letdowns - enjoy!'

I dont look my best when I wake up. But I do feel beautiful when Im tired and happy and Ive had a good laugh and a glass of champagne.

I want to feel good, I want to feel proud, I want to feel that I give someone enough and that I get enough.

You should never feel comfortable. There is something wrong if you are. You should always feel under threat, on the edge of your seat and pushing yourself. Win one and you want to win more. It's never-ending.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

When producers want to know what the public wants, they graph it as curves. When they want to tell the public what to get, they say it in curves.

I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy, to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.

Get me inside any boardroom and I'll get any decision I want.

The avantgarde are people who don't exactly know where they want to go, but are the first to get there.

If I had to come up with something that just came to me, I think growing up in a small town, I want knowledge. I still think today, knowledge is one of the keys.

I want to thank all the fans for their support over the years. Keep supporting the Knicks, we're moving in the right direction here and we will be exciting to watch and competing against the best in the NBA. Come back to the Garden for those exciting games.

If you want something that's going to provide you with a lot of challenges and a variety of different things to do, then you really can't beat a place like the Air Force. I don't mean this to sound like a recruiting pitch. But it's been a lot of fun.

I want to spend more time with those kids. I want to dedicate my time to train those kids and teach them what it takes, what they need to do to get to this level.

Young actors often don't think of the consequences of doing nudity or sex scenes. They want the role so badly that they agree to be exploited, and then end up embarrassing family, friends, and even strangers.

At one point in your life, you'll have the thing you want or the reasons why you don't.

It is the privilege of the gods to want nothing, and of godlike men to want little.

Teachers started recognizing me and praising me for being smart in science and that made me want to be even smarter in science!

I try to teach my heart not to want things it can't have.

Once you drink one glass, you want another.

If you want to grow old as a pilot, you've got to know when to push it, and when to back off.

I don't want any more vicissitudes, I don't want any more of this try, try again stuff. I just want out. I've had it. I am so tired. I am twenty and I am already exhausted.

Women don't like advice. They don't want you to fix their problems, they just want you to listen.
