I always loved comedy but I didn't start formally until I was in college.

I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest. The experience of working there is something of a battleground, a great one, but complicated. I think there's a deep connection for having survived that workplace.

I like playing the same person over and over again. I've done shows for over a year on Broadway, and I never get bored.

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

I've always lived in a city.

I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.

Be tenacious. Get as much stage time as possible.
