The alternative comedy scene is actually pretty small, I guess.
The more money you spend, the more you need to make back, and the more pressure there is to appeal to everyone - which to the studio means that the specificity and uniqueness must be watered down. But I think mass audiences like things that are more specific and tend to have a voice, like 'Napoleon Dynamite' or 'Superbad.'
I love the area I grew up in, which is right outside D.C., in Alexandria, Virginia.
I want to see a ton more comedy for women.
There's a creative freedom with being under the radar. But I guess if you're too under the radar, you get canceled?
Once I made a boyfriend dress up as Woody Allen from 'Annie Hall.'
Somewhere along the way, I think I realised that taking yourself seriously is the worst thing that you can do in life, so once I let that go, I've just let it all go. I have no standard of personal dignity.
The down-side of these huge-budget movies is that so many people have a hand in them, sometimes they come out a little more vanilla.
All of my favorite actresses are comedians at heart: Shirley MacLaine and Madeline Kahn, Diane Keaton and Debra Winger. And they are all amazing dramatic actresses, but everything they do is funny.
I didn't have the greatest ride on 'SNL,' but I always felt support from gay fans, which made me feel accepted within a place I didn't feel totally accepted.
Pageants are already ridiculous and sad, I think.
Even before I got on 'SNL' I assumed I would do some type of sitcom; I kind of thought that was how I would start. I don't mean to sound arrogant - I just thought I would be best suited to the form.
With agents, I've learned to bring them into the process when I feel confident. You're the only one that can really know what's right for your career. You're on a wing and a prayer through most of it.
Is it normal to make a minute-to-minute schedule for the timing of thanksgiving? I'm asking for a friend.
