We have to agree beforehand to divide the funniest lines between us. But Tina [Fey] is so brilliant that I just love every moment working with her and also just hanging out together as friends.

I've always dreamed of growing up to be Amy Poehler.

Listen. Say yes. Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often.

You learn early as an actor that creating your own material is the only way to have any control.

You can't look stupid if you're having fun.

I get a little itchy if I don't have some control.

I get worried for young girls sometimes; I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled.
