If you're creating anything at all, it's really dangerous to care about what people think.
When you go out of your comfort zone and it works there's nothing more satisfying.
It sounds so cheesy, but there's something very powerful about looking in the mirror and asking yourself a question. Because I think it's really hard to lie.
With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.
Don't become something just because someone else wants you to or because it's easy; you won't be happy. You have to do what you really, really, really, really want to do, even if it scares the s-t out of you.
I used to carry my dad's empty guitar case around the neighborhood because I wanted people to think I played the guitar. I would put flintstones vitamins in it in case I got tired, so I could pop some and keep walking.
Don't do something just because someone else wants you to
I love the rain. It's my favorite weather.
Sometimes I need to blow off steam and go dance really hard.
I feel there's so much pressure, especially for women, to declare what their life's going to be and what their career is, and are you married yet? Are you single? But you're 30. And girlfriends are so important. You can have a boyfriend or husband when you're 30, but you still need your girlfriends.
I think no matter what kind of life you have, whether it looks one way to people or another way, you always have moments when you imagine a different life.
At parties, I'll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, 'Forget it,' and then start eating things.
There's something about a Christmas sweater that will always make me laugh.
When you're a woman in your thirties, and maybe you don't really know what you want to do with your life, but it seems like everyone else does, and your best friend gets married, and it forces you to look at yourself. I don't know if I described that in a very funny way.
I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.
I hated speaking in public. I would miss school just so I wouldn't have to do it.
I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.
I wish I had a lot of tattoos.
I enjoy being characters rather than myself.
I love kids. All my best friends have kids, and I love, love, love kids.
I'd make a terrible surgeon. The fear of blood? Very high on my list.
For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.
Even in this day and age, if you're not married, there are people who are like, 'Don't worry, it'll happen for you someday.'
It's a mystery to me what makes people laugh.
I don't know if I even consider myself a comedian really - I do comedic acting in some films and dramatic in others.
