I'm not the type to cut back on hot showers, but there's no harm in hot water when it's warmed by the sun.

I walk around feeling a sort of existential guilt all the time; and honestly for me this house is a way of feeling less guilty about the universe.

I think Elaine would go out with anyone if they showed interest in her. She's nuts. The woman's nuts.

I really do like to work. I will work again. But on my terms.

I've actually considered going with my married name, Julia Hall, but all the paperwork.

I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I or the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.

I'm particularly fortunate to be in a position where I can bring my child to work and be able to get good child care. Not a lot of women have that.

Before computers, telephone lines and television connect us, we all share the same air, the same oceans, the same mountains and rivers. We are all equally responsible for protecting them.

If you feel rooted in your home and family, if you're active in your community, there's nothing more empowering. The best way to make a difference in the world is to start by making a difference in your own life.

As an actress, it appeals to me because I love the idea of playing those in-between moments, the sort of behavioral stuff that one might not normally see.

I dropped out of college my junior year to do Saturday Night Live, and I didn't even consult my parents. They were very supportive because they had no choice.

I guess if I wrote a book one day, it would be about hair.

Elaine is just in pain. I think Elaine has become very, very sad woman. She is someone who is in deep need of many hours of analysis and I like to think that I'm not that type of person.

When I was growing up, I always thought my hair was messy.

The fact of the matter is that everybody treats me pretty much as one of the boys, which I take as a great compliment.
