“I had temping jobs also. I liked the flexibility. There was no asking for time off; you just didn't work.”

“If you see me at a restaurant, blow me a kiss, wave, blow me another kiss, then walk five steps backward.”

“I mean, I've had bartenders and waiters and waitresses make a comment about a joke of mine, like pointing out some sort of logic error or something that I've never even thought about, and they're right.”

“People perceive me as a commodity. They just don't think anything of asking for five minutes of my time. It never occurs to them that if they're asking for it and another thousand people are asking, I don't have 1,000 five minutes to give.”

“A character wandering around asking, 'Who am I?' isn't, in and of itself, a story I'm interested in telling.”

“I mean, I don't like sitting at a table with seven or eight people asking me questions and kind of listening to what I'm doing - scrutinizing my thoughts and things like that. I just don't like it. I can't understand how anyone would.”
