[the man] was a case where it was a funny role teamed up with another actor. it's a great teaming. and the role was a bigger role. it wasn't so much that it was a co-starring role. this is not a new direction. i'm not saying, 'no. i'm only now co-starring.' it just happens it's a co-starring role.

You know; when i look at the night sky and i see this enormous splendor of stars and galaxies, i sometimes ask the question, well how many worlds are we talking about? well do the math, there are about 100 billion galaxies that are in the visible universe and each galaxy in turn contains about 100 billion stars, you multiply and you get about ten billion trillion stars. well i think it is the height of arrogance to believe that we are alone in the universe, my attitude is that the universe is teaming, teaming with different kinds of life forms

In 1491 the inka ruled the greatest empire on earth. bigger than ming dynasty china, bigger than ivan the great’s expanding russia, bigger than songhay in the sahel or powerful great zimbabwe in the west africa tablelands, bigger than the cresting ottoman empire, bigger than the triple alliance (as the aztec empire is more precisely known), bigger by far than any european state, the inka dominion extended over a staggering thirty-two degrees of latitude—as if a single power held sway from st. petersburg to cairo.

What's all this talk about me being teamed with ginger rogers? i will not have it leland--i did not go into pictures to be teamed with her or anyone else, and if that is the program in mind for me i will not stand for it. i don't mind making another picture with her but as for this teams idea, it's out.

The problem is that we live in an uptight country. why don't we just laugh at ourselves? we are funny. gays are funny. straights are funny. women are funny. men are funny. we are all funny, and we all do funny things. let's laugh about it.

I'm not offended. lenny bruce taught me that everything's funny. you can make everything funny. i don't think that assassinations are funny, i don't think you can make fun of isis, but almost everything is funny. and if we can't laugh at ourselves, who can we laugh at? so i don't mind ethnic humor. i like ethnic humor. i like dialect jokes. laughter is a very subjective thing. if it's funny to you it's funny. and a lot of things are funny to me.

I had started acting when i was 7, and i was always wrong. i would always get to the very end [of the audition], but i wasn't a perfect package of one thing. i wasn't a cliche, and it always worked against me. i wasn't pretty enough to play the popular girl, i wasn't mousy enough to be the mousy girl. then there was a tv show that toni collette was starring in. and when a role to play a girl who was struggling with identity came, i thought: "oh, this is what i was supposed to do. everything's leading up to this moment." i was 18. i was like, "this is it." i didn't get it. and i was devastated.
