“I think I signed some contract, early on in my career, that I will only kiss Steve Carell when I do a movie.”
“My inners are not organs. They're actually mechanics, so I have a hole in my back, wind me up like the movie 'Hugo,' and then just say, 'Act,' you know?”
“I think when you're in a relationship, either you have something or your partner generally has something that you're having to deal with.”
“I'm a Bravoholic, and I love 'RuPaul's Drag Race.'”
“I would love it if 'Community' could have a trajectory like '30 Rock' and choose when to go out.”

“The more attention you give to your negative feelings, the more they grow, so I think things just start to blow totally out of proportion.”
