All of my friends who are single have moved out of New York. They didn't like it.
And Seinfeld is so quick: we crank out one show a week, and the hours are very reasonable.
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.
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.
Doing a half-hour TV show is a dream.
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.
Elaine should really get away from these guys. She is bogged down by this trio of morons. She just needs healthy relationship.
Even my great grand-mother did impressions.
Everybody seems to know me. It's very strange.
Frankly as fun and entertaining as the entertainment business is, it pales in comparison to raising kids - for me anyway. The glamorous parts of business are indeed glamorous, but they're fleeting and fickle.
From a very early age I was made aware of the idea of being a part of something bigger than you, something bigger than our lives.
I always wanted to perform.
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.
I had no professional experience outside of Chicago theater, so coming into the huge machine of that show was tough.
I have no agenda except to be funny. Neither I or the writers profess to offer any worldly wisdom.
I hope in ten years I'll be enjoying other creative experiences that are equally satisfying. But the reality is, these things don't come around a lot.
I like Chicago a lot. I miss the cold.
I really do like to work. I will work again. But on my terms.
I think Elaine would go out with anyone if they showed interest in her. She's nuts. The woman's nuts.
I think we all find one another funny and when you don't have to fake it, it's really nice if that makes any sense?
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'm just another actor in the cast.
I'm not a politician. I have an opinion, and I like to help the good guys out if I can without overstepping my bounds.
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'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.
I've actually considered going with my married name, Julia Hall, but all the paperwork.
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.
It is, I think, harder for women. I haven't quite figured it out, and all of my women friends haven't figured it out -how the hell do you do this? How do you work and have families?
It's much more acceptable for men to work and father kids. There's an inherent inequality, because we want to do it all, and I don't know how we can do this all.
L.A. I could live without.
Making a movie is a long, dull process. There's a lot of waiting around.
My goal is, of course, for this show to do well, and I would love it if people liked it.
New York is nice, but I don't like it as much as I used to.
Some people can sometimes really invade your space and kind of never leave you alone.
The fact of the matter is that everybody treats me pretty much as one of the boys, which I take as a great compliment.
The schedule of doing a live TV show every week is very difficult.
The Seinfeld motto: No learning, no hugging.
The war and terrorism in the Middle East, the crisis of leadership in many of the oil-supply countries in the developing world, the crisis of global warming - all these are very clearly tied to energy.
There's a pressure regardless of that to do a good show.
We are 5 percent of the global population and consume a third of the total resources - on some level we should all feel guilty relative to the world.
When I got pregnant my foot grew, but I was denying it. I've been denying it for three years.
When I was growing up, I always thought my hair was messy.
