While I love film and want to continue to pursue it 100 percent, my home is TV.
I feel like so often I'm just, like, running around and eating in the car, which is, like, not good, or eating as I'm walking down the street.
There is a great degree of comfort with your family when you're on a TV show.
It feels kind of naughty when you're swearing on set and you know it's gonna make it in unbleeped on the show.
I think if I was in over 250 films, the world would get pretty sick of me. I would probably never get put in anything ever again.
There are these important things in some people's lives that can make you laugh even when you're going through a tough time or a stressful week.
It really does mean so much when your cast mates, who you respect so much, tell you that you made them laugh.
I first came to LA auditioning during pilot season. I didn't really know anyone. The only people I'd meet were the girls I was up against at auditions. It wasn't the friendliest bunch.
My poor, problematic feet don't let me wear anything much over a three- or four-inch heel.
Thinking back about throwing myself at certain gentlemen that had no interest in me, that'll bring a blush to my face if I think about it too often.
I've definitely run from the cops in the New York City subways.
It's really amazing to be a part of something that people have an emotional response to, even though it's a network sitcom. When you get a chance to meet fans or interact with them, you realize that there are a lot of people who the show speaks to, and that they really get something out of it, beyond just laughing. That's really fulfilling.
We all wish there were more 'Bridesmaids' out there.
I'm a pretty goofy person. I'm an awkward dancer, for instance, and a terrible singer.
