As long as I do a good job I believe the future is going to take care of itself but actually I like very much being in elected office and there is no consideration about doing anything different until I can be assured that we are going to have the best voting systems in the country.

I couldn't wait to look at someone who shared my genes. I thought my baby was going to provide a decoder key to my past. But then I looked at Pippa and realized no she's actually the key to my future.

In fact when you combine stem cell technology with the technology known as tissue engineering you can actually grow up entire organs so as you suggest that sometime in the future you get in an auto accident and lose your kidney we'd simply take a few skin cells and grow you up a new kidney. In fact this has already been done.

By doing something positive in this world you're helping people and the future. We're all trying to help the world... make it a better place to live. We're actually still changing the world aren't we?

Yeah it's odd when you look back at your own work. Some filmmakers don't look back at their work at all. I look at my work a lot actually. I feel like I learned something while looking at stuff I've done in terms of what I'm going to do in the future mistakes I've made and things at work or what have you.

Instead of just giving lip service to improving our schools I will actually put the kids first and the teachers union behind in giving our kids better teachers better options and better choices for a better future.

Even though the future seems far away it is actually beginning right now.

I've actually tried to roast somebody that I don't like and it doesn't go well. Either they're a bad sport or I'm not as funny as I could be.

It's so funny when you're actually directing because things start popping that you don't expect to pop and something that you think is going to pop maybe doesn't quite have the impetus that you thought it might.

Sometimes we have to actually say I think you're really funny but none of your jokes are going to make it on the air. So just answer my questions. Seriously.

I remember interviewing someone I actually felt bad for and therefore didn't want to take an ironic stance against him. It actually turned out to be a really funny piece.

I appreciate humor so much but I'm actually not a funny girl.

If you look at the game and everything it's not quite like looking at an animated film because that's total character. This this is really movement but it's got funny little things if you look for the humor. They're actually getting to the character.

We all know how funny Morrissey is. Actually you know what? I say that sarcastically. His songs are some of the funniest songs I've ever heard in my life. I mean really. I mean not that the 'Girlfriend in a Coma' is like really funny.

Stealing you'll go far in life. Actually there is something funny about getting away with it.

I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.

I actually feel like for a lot of my career I wasn't able to show my comedic range. I did a lot of dramas and dramedies. I was on 'E.R.' That's not generally thought of as a funny show.
