It's funny growing up there was never anybody around me with any kind of artistic bent.

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.

They did that little thing on South Park and they mentioned my name and had a character of me judging a Halloween contest. It was really funny.That made me the coolest aunt on earth.

I'm not a believer in the pratfall. I don't think it's funny just to have someone fall down.

Billy Crystal knows how to make people laugh. He's got 30 years on stage... there's no telling him what's funny.

Acting is all about big hair and funny props... All the great actors knew it. Olivier knew it Brando knew it.

So often I read scripts and am like 'This would never happen in real life. It's not trying to be funny. It's trying to be serious.'

And there's a visceral fun in watching Team America and making it like taking a puppet and throwing it against the wall. Because it's not CG there's something funny about it.

I love Mikhail Bulgakov. He is very original and takes the story to unexpected places. I didn't realise political writing could be so funny.

I feel funny about owning art. I don't really want to say: 'Wow come and see my Monet - it's in a dark room at the bottom of my cellar.'
