The public doesn't want to hear people complaining about having their picture taken.
It's not like I have boxes of scripts arriving at my door.
If you're creating anything at all, it's really dangerous to care about what people think.
I don't know if I even consider myself a comedian really - I do comedic acting in some films and dramatic in others.
With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.
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.
Women do get drunk, they do get sick and they do get food poisoning. It seems to be a bit of a surprise to people that they are seeing it.
I definitely ran with a pack of hoodlums, that's for sure.
I always say I want to look haunted.
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.
There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.
I took guitar lessons and recorded the song in New York. It was kind of a dream. I got to pretend I was a recording artist for a couple days.
I'm a vegetarian; I eat a lot of tofu and soy.
If I can be doing something in the arts till the day I die. I would be very, very happy.
