" I get along very well with the cast of '30 Rock.' I guess I bring a certain quirkiness to the show as well. I'm just thankful they keep asking me. I didn't think I was going to be asked back so every time they say, 'We want you back,' I'm screaming. I'm jumping up and down and screaming. "

I think we stress over it, we replay it in our mind. It becomes an old tape that years later we continue to play it in our mind. "
