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.

Because death and illness are the most horrible things in life of course that's where the most absurdly funny things are going to happen.

I don't think know if anything's going to translate anywhere. You're making a movie you hope it's going to be funny you can't think about how it's going to go over.

I auditioned for a solo in church and got it. I was about seven and I sang a song called 'Jesus I Heard You Had a Big House' and I remember people standing up at the end and me thinking 'Oh I think I'm going to like this.' That's how it all began. Sounds funny to say you got your start in church but I did.

Billy is a funny cheeky lovely boy and I love being with him. Parenthood is terrifying though. I can barely walk past a building without panicking that it's going to collapse on his head.

Movies don't look hard but figuring it out getting the shape of it getting everybody's character right and having it be funny make sense and be romantic it's creating a puzzle. Yes having been a writer for so long I have an awareness of when things are going awry but it doesn't mean I know how to fix them.

I think it's always funny when somebody thinks you're going to do something super sexy and then you don't.

There's a constant flow of child actors. It's kind of funny to watch the new crew come through. I think You poor little things. You're going to have to struggle for a long time.

What was funny if you were there is that we were all immensely sophisticated people who knew exactly what she was going to say and we're chatting away nice to see you.

I was going through a little bit of turbulence in my career. And so it's funny how turbulence itself will make you hold onto something for security. And so the only thing I knew is trust in the Lord and lean not unto your own heart in all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path.

I have no idea what I'm going to say when I stand up to give a toast. But I do know that anything I say I find funny.

I took 'P.S. I Love You' thinking it was going to be a little funny and I ended up crying every day on that film.

I wouldn't totally rule out doing Letterman or the Tonight Show if I had a set that I just happened to write that I thought was funny but was still appropriate for network censors. But I'm not going to go out of my way.

Women's humor seems to be a little more supportive. It's just kind of trying to make the other one laugh through funny voices and kind of talking about other people. I respond to that. I feel less like I'm going to get beat up in a room full of women than I do in a room full of guys.

What's so great about working with really funny women is that vanity comes second. Whatever makes it real and funny they're going to go for and it's just great.

This is going to sound really funny. I have a poster of Zac Efron on my wall! I think every girl has a poster of him in their room so why not join the club!

It's funny I never considered that people are going to see me on the show and maybe stop me on the subway.
