My stepfather had a connection with The Second City and told me I should go there. I woke up in a cold sweat one night and said, 'I'm moving to Chicago.' That's how I went to Second City.

My mom's family is Russian Jewish, and my dad's Puerto Rico Catholic, so it's kind of a weird mix.

I have a speech impediment because I slur a lot, and they even make fun of me on 'Cougar Town' because there's certain word combinations that I just can't say.

What people don't understand about Sarah Palin is that she is a rancher's wife. From Alberta down to Texas I've known women like that: good common sense, bright and vilified by city people.

If you chomp down too hard on my work, you're going to break your teeth.

I was a bit challenged when I was younger to stay on the right path.
