Quote
1
I come from the place of thinking, 'Whatever works for people' - and if you haven't been exposed to anything else, you really don't know better.
2
I feel like I work on scripts for comedy as well as dramatic stuff the same.
3
I grew up in a suburb of Ohio, in a small town, and I resonated with that small-town feeling where everybody knows your business.
4
I love doing sitcoms. I love doing comedy. I love the whole shooting match.
5
I love Frances McDormand so much. I love her career. And I think it's fun because she gets to do comedy as well as drama.
6
I really wanted to do things that weren't comic. It felt like finding people who can see this other side to me.
7
I told my agents that I love Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand and all of these women who are good at doing comedies, as well as dramas.
In my early 20s, I didn't even know what the Groundlings was. I had no idea. But I know how to break down a script and work on the character.

Whatever the situation at hand, that's what I'm dealing with and trying to be true to it in that moment.
11
As much as I don't want to admit it, I really am a people pleaser. If I throw a party at my house, it's hard for me to relax. I'm too obsessed with whether everyone's having a good time.
12
I don't have this weird, natural funny bone that constantly comes out. It's not like my every instinct is to be funny, and I'm always having to dampen that down.
I wanted to go to New York and be a stage actress, doing things like Chekhov. None of that happened, and then I went to L.A. and an agent said, 'I think you belong in commercials and TV.' So I did that and got some opportunities that I absolutely love.
15
It's funny, because when I was in college, all my professors said, 'You should do comedy.' And I was like, 'No! No!' But I was able to get my foot in the door through comedy. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to do it.

Jeff Kinney is tall and has a great smile, but don't be fooled, he's as slick as they come. A real player. And how he came up with a book that appeals to kids ages 8-13 baffles me. He's an unbelievably kind man with a great family.

See, that's the thing: I'm not one of those actors who thinks, 'God, I've got to improvise and make it my own.' No, my first job as an actor is to take what's written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I'll do that.
18
When I moved to New York out of college, that was my goal. To be a stage actress. And to do dramatic works. Like 'Madea', and ''Night, Mother', and 'Sam Shepard', and all that kind of stuff. That's what I really wanted to do.
