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 like anything with a live audience. I love sitcom work. I hope it comes back in fashion because I really love it. I love single-camera work, too, but in a different way than that live-audience thing, which is really exciting.

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

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.

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

I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.

Be tenacious. Get as much stage time as possible.
