To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.
You don't want to be the first person to tell your 5-year-old, like, 'You're going to have a life filled with disappointments and letdowns - enjoy!'
I think that people who don't like kids are awful people.
I've never set out to write a funny movie or be a funny comedian as a woman. I am a woman. I don't really have a choice in the matter. My goal is just to be funny.
I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.
To grow up with the loss of your mother is a scar that never goes away.
I never thought I'd get a chance to do what I'm doing. It's such a dream.
Before I had children, everything about my life was devoted to Saturday Night Live.
I have an equal opportunity womb!
No, no, no. Your accent is so beautiful.
I would love it if you would come in and teach me how to really do you.
I like comedy as a group sport.
Without a doubt in sketch comedy there are fewer women than men.
I don't know if comedy is a male sport. I always wondered that.
I feel like I come from a smaller off shoot of black people because I am mixed. People say I'm African American but that doesn't include the other half of me.
I was a loud child, and if my mother sang to me, I would be quiet.
There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.
Lord knows I had what you could call many fashion Don'ts in my day.
I really love laughing.
If my time with my kids is shorter than it was yesterday, it's better than nothing.
