'Notorious' is a masterwork. I can watch it every day.

Michelle Obama blows my mind. Form and function, style and grace.

It's a lot of fun to just say to people, proudly, 'I get to play the First Lady.' It's just fun to say.

If I could have anyone's mind for a day, I really can't think of anyone other than Einstein.

I'm blessed because I had my mom as a teacher - sixth through eighth grade - and she is one of the best teachers I've ever had.

With Yale, my world got so big all of a sudden. At school, if you could dream it, someone would make it so that you could do it. It was magical.
