I just want to work hard. I love that feeling.
You have to be really careful to watch out for the difference between banding together, and being grouped together by people who don't understand you.
I want to make every kind of movie that I can make. I don't really care if they're big or small.
There's a lot of different parts to me, so it makes total sense to me that I would do a big TV show or studio movie and then do a free comedy show the next day. They both feel equally important to me.
I really like to cook and have dinner parties and I like to clean, it really clears my head and it makes me feel good to keep my home as a comfortable place.
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
When I go and make smaller films, I actually never think about them being made for a smaller audience.
I just want to be able to be creative.
I don’t think men have time to be funny because they have to make all of our rules about what we can do with our vaginas.
I'm competitive and I have a messy purse, but otherwise, I like people to think I'm a winner.
If you don't respect each other and let it lie, it can be embarrassing or really frustrating.
I tend to be a bit of a workaholic, but I also can't function without some sort of domesticity as well.
Sometimes you watch comedians and feel like they're jerking off in front of you, but they want you to see how big it is.
There are so many different stories. You can choose to tell them, or not, but they certainly have the right to exist
