And you know whether it's drama or comedy the best work is based on truth. It's just that with comedy the circumstances are just crazy-heightened and you have these crazy things thrown at you. But you still have to do it truthfully because that's where the humor comes from. So it's not that difficult to cross over.

Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories that theory of building suspense is still there.

Lesbian humor isn't trying to sell anything it doesn't have to sell out. Coming out as a lesbian onstage is still a very political act if it weren't more women would do it.

It felt as if things were literally slipping through my fingers. Things were just streaming away from me. I lost my sense of humor. I'm still looking for that.

I visited Jobs for the last time in his Palo Alto Calif. home. He had moved to a downstairs bedroom because he was too weak to go up and down stairs. He was curled up in some pain but his mind was still sharp and his humor vibrant.

Sometimes a scene may be about one thing and it may end up still being about that but the emotionality of it comes from somewhere else or the humor of it comes from somewhere else and it gives it that real-life quality.

I've met a lot of people who've lost their jobs and they still have a sense of humor.

Any man who has had the job I've had and didn't have a sense of humor wouldn't still be here.

True humor springs not more from the head than from the heart. It is not contempt its essence is love. It issues not in laughter but in still smiles which lie far deeper.

I still have I hope a lot of years and there are still a lot of things I want to do.

I hope to stay on 'Glee ' I hope to still be a 'Housewife' and I hope to do 'The New Normal.' I just want to do it all! Why not? I'm only going to be young for a little while longer.

There is a part of me that still wants to go out and grab a backpack and unplug - not take a cellphone or even a camera and just get out there and experience the world and travel. I have yet to do that but someday I hope.

Even if I went off to some other career I hope I would still be doing Coen films.

I hope that when I'm 80 years old people will still be talking about my wedding.

As a young actor people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking 'This is what I love doing and I hope I'm going to be able to do it forever.'

White actors still get way more money in Hollywood. It's been that way for a very long time. I hope it'll change but it's a matter of forcing that change.

I love the Beatles. I haven't named any kids after them but I still really love them. They were the first group that I was ever properly aware of. In my early teens I would sometimes stay in and listen to the radio all day in the hope that I would catch a song by them that I'd never heard before and be able to tape it on my radio-cassette player.
