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.

It's fun to watch a true-blue movie star at work. They're really unbelievably charismatic. They understand camera angles.

You know, once somebody knows you can sing Elphaba, it's like being able to sing Evita - people shut up about it already.

It's definitely like being in some weird sorority. I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest.

I played Liddy Dole last year and met her as well. From the artful way she phrased it, I still don't know if she had actually seen me play her. She made it sound like it was good, but that's just a gift they have.
