	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 would love it if you would come in and teach me how to really do you.   
- 
	
	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.   
- 
	
	Lord knows I had what you could call many fashion Don'ts in my day.   
- 
	
	I never thought I'd get a chance to do what I'm doing. It's such a dream.   
- 
	
	I learned the enormous power of writing for yourself, especially now that people seem to be receptive to the fact that women can write.   
- 
	
	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.

	To have your childhood dream realized is a really big deal.

	Without a doubt in sketch comedy there are fewer women than men.

	I get anxious. That lovely Jewish guilt that comes with ancestry.

	Before I had children, everything about my life was devoted to Saturday Night Live.   
- 
	
	I think that people who don't like kids are awful people.   
- 
	
	I like comedy as a group sport.   
- 
	
	Most of my life I didn't feel very normal. There's definitely been some moments where I feel like, all right, I've finally graduated and I'm a normal lady.   
- 
	
	I still have a fantasy of being a musician when I grow up.   
- 
	
	I really love laughing.   
- 
	
	If my time with my kids is shorter than it was yesterday, it's better than nothing.   
- 
	
	No, no, no. Your accent is so beautiful.   
- 
	
	There are days when I wonder why my mom couldn't be here to see this.   
- 
	
	I was a loud child, and if my mother sang to me, I would be quiet.   
- 
	
	To grow up with the loss of your mother is a scar that never goes away.   
- 
	
	I have an equal opportunity womb!   
- 
	
	I've met people who are baffled by children, as though they were never children themselves.   
- 
	
	I've been writing joke songs since I was a kid and it served me well at S.N.L. I can write those in my sleep. In fact, I have.
