I wish my mother had left me something about how she felt growing up. I wish my grandmother had done the same. I wanted my girls to know me.

Well, I don't know how astute I am, but I did want to be a journalist when I was growing up.

I do think there are some great female comics: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph. They're the whole ball of wax.

I've always been able to recount things, and I have a really good memory about dialog and what people have said before and this and that.

Conservatives tend to see the world more in terms of good-versus-evil and, for some of them, the nightmare is a disarmed citizenry that can be preyed upon by criminals. They know that having a gun in the house would increase the risk of an accident for a member of their family, but they're willing to take that risk.

I think it's really good for a family or children to have a dog, cat, bird or whatever to grow up with.

I think there's something to be said for being at home with your family and having all the things you like around you. I think my kids would say the same.

Millions of cats are in shelters across the country waiting for a loving parent or family to bring them home.
