I started writing when I was trying to be an actor, and I happened to be friends with Tina Fey, who happened to have her show '30 Rock' coming out. So Tina, who happens to be a mentor to me, gave me my slot and hired me.
I am constantly amazed by Tina Fey. And I am Tina Fey.
I will very happily grow old in the comedic world of Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, if they would keep having me over and over.
I had not met Tina Fey before I auditioned for '30 Rock'. Some people think we're old friends from 'Second City' days. I had always been a fan of Tina's. But I actually never planned on being in a sitcom.
Tina Fey writes crazy, off-color, racist, hilarious stuff for '30 Rock,' but it's always funny because you're in this almost two-dimensional world where there's Jenna Maroney and these over-the-top characters. That's the framework.
If you want a great replacement, like, who can follow Barack and still have that swag, that charisma, that charm and be historic - I think it would be Tina Fey for president.
I love "30 Rock" because Tina Fey allows me to fly over the cuckoo nest once a week.

Tina Fey is one of my heroes.
My motto is 'In Tina Fey I trust.'
An interesting thing about the beginning of our friendship and professional collaboration [with Tina Fey] was that the improve scenes we would do together were basically dramatic and not funny at all.
I will work for Tina Fey forever.
Tina Fey is my mentor, whether she likes it or not.
Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are so cool together.
Tina Fey is the most caring woman I've worked with in this business.
I’d love to hear what confident, intelligent women in the industry have to say: Rachel McAdams, Carey Mulligan, Angelina Jolie, Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey. I would stand in line all day for that panel.
