I am a passionate believer that comedy is a way of tackling some of the most dark and difficult aspects of being a human being.
Being a human being is all about experiencing all of the wonders of the world and therefore as an actress, I'm open to any opportunity that may enrich my horizon.
There's a lot of mediocrity being celebrated, and a lot of wonderful stuff being ignored or discouraged.
Getting talked about is one of the penalties for being pretty, while being above suspicion is about the only compensation for being homely.
I think one can achieve a very pleasant lifestyle by treating human beings, fellow human beings, very well.
There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
Telling lies and being deceitful takes so much more energy than being honest and sincere.
There's tremendous shame with being bullied. I think there's a level at which you think that there's a reason that you're being singled out, that you're being chosen.
