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.

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

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

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

I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.
