[on adjusting to life in New York:] My apartment is the equivalent of one room in my Toronto home. Now I understand why New Yorkers are on the streets at all hours. People don't want to stay inside for fear they'll go crazy. I've also found television remotes to be an afterthought here. I don't even have to get up from the couch to change channels. [September 29, 2003]
[on working with her husband Jason Jones on television productions] We met each other working in a children's-theatre troupe and have continued to work together for almost twenty years. He's good at pushing comedy beyond my comfort zone, and I'm good at reining him in. Having children helps because they do not care about our work at all.
[on the 2016 U.S. Election] It's still hard on my soul for me to take Donald Trump seriously. I don't think I'll ever get used to it. As much as I'm embracing the circus atmosphere because it will be entertaining, as a voter I would still hope that we get an actual good person in there.
[to Stephen Miller, after he criticized the verses on the Statue of Liberty] You should be nice to Lady Liberty! She's the only woman who will ever let you inside her.
