I actually like character work, so for me, generally speaking, I enjoy it. It's a little bit more of a comfortable suit you put back on. You can explore it and have fun with it and push the limits of it.

Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.

I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.

I've done a ton of theater work and dramatic work, but nobody really knows me that way.

I was inspired more by early Bette Midler. I do wear a fancy dress and very high heels - and extra high hair. My goal is to obliterate all earnestness.

I'm pretty earthy; I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.

I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.
