party character thinking
Years ago, I was thinking about this type of character and what happens when you've lived in this sort of strange, surreal world where it's parties all the time and then you don't get to live there anymore. What do you do with the rest of your life?
character play way
My comedy does not come from a place of deep cynicism, and I tend to play characters who are naive in some way.
character roles women written
There just aren't that many roles written for young women that are character-y kind of roles, especially in comedies.
jobs character thinking
Playing those one-dimensional characters is actually really difficult because you're not dealing with somebody you would ever really know. I don't think anybody here could imagine actually knowing Cindy Campbell from Scary Movies. So, in a way, your job is so much easier when you're playing a person that you really understand and that seems very relatable. I think I was coming to a place in my career where I was like, "I'd like to do something a little more rewarding."
vanity doe comedy
I feel like all comedy does require a lack of vanity, but multi-cam, especially.
aunt challenges answers
I know that's a vague answer, but you just have to really pedal yourself around town and attempt to not get too discouraged. There is also a different kind of challenge for women, as they graduate into their 30s. It's hard. There isn't as much work. You're suddenly the aunt, or something. So, it's a process.
ass crew knows
I don't know about you, but I love showing my ass to a crew of 300 that I've been working with.
nice thinking careers
In every career, you are balancing or negotiating tricky waters. But, I think that's been something nice that comedy has been able to give me a little bit more. I have the ability to laugh at myself and hopefully not take all of this whole world too seriously.
mom growing-up pretty-woman
My mom actually didn't let me read any women's magazines growing up. She also didn't let me see Pretty Woman. She thought that I was going to want to be a hooker. So, instead, I just got cast in Scary Movie.
trying granted take-nothing-for-granted
I try to keep my head on straight and take nothing for granted.
grateful mean vanity
I really wanted to do some serious work. I really wanted to be a part of dramatic films. I wanted to show this talent, whatever that means, that I could be a dramatic actress as well. But the truth is, a) I don't know if I can, and b) I love doing comedy, and I felt almost a little embarrassed that I succumbed to the pressure. Vanity is really what it is. I feel really grateful that I am in comedy, and I love doing it.
summer hair blonde
I grew out my armpit hair for the summer. It turns out my natural hair colour isn't blonde.
parent knows
I don't know what I'm doing as a parent at all.
grateful comedy feels
I feel really grateful that I am in comedy, and I love doing it.
