On being single and famous for the first time ever after a very serious off and on relationship with Jimmy Kimmel:
This was the weirdest time being single. Ive always had long relationships, so Ive never been single when people on the street know who I am. And it made it soit felt a little isolating. Part of the fun of meeting someone is having them discover you. Youre doing your little tap dance, like, This is me! And then [the person has] all these preconceived notions, things that are partially true and partially not.
Well, it didnt surprise me at all. Is it so crazy? It didnt blow my mind, and it didnt make me love him less, because the reasons I love him dont have anything to do with who hes fking. I mean, I cant imagine hes the nicest man in the world, but I love talk show host David Letterman. Im not looking to have him be a United Nations representative. The same thing with Tiger Woods. Were all so shocked that an athlete is fking people?
On smoking pot and her medical marijuana prescription:
I went to the doctor and was honest. I said, When Im working and I have to get to sleep for the next day, Id rather smoke a little bit of Indica than take a sleeping pill. Also when I have menstrual cramps, that makes it go away.
When Conan started in 1993, it took him years to get an audience, and he dida huge cult audience. But when you move to 11:30, things changeits starting over, and the network should have been patient and stuck with him. The truth is, I dont think the failure is Conans show but Lenos show at 10:00. Taking that 10:00 slot screwed them over, and the affiliates got pissed. Leno said he was gonna retireI remember the day he announced it. Conan was my first big break. He put me on all the time. I played on the Conan soccer team. I have a place in my heart so special for him.
