If there's one big thing you can take from Amy Poehler as a performer, it's committing, full on.

I have a couple of ideas for shows that I would love to bring to fruition in some way at some point.

There were times that I would be drunk and just leave a place by myself because I had an impulse and wasn't thinking through the repercussions on others.

I prefer not to wink out from behind the character as myself, saying to the audience, "It's just me here, right, guys?" Peter Sellers is my model, and he didn't do that - he wore his character from head to toe.

When you're coming up with your philosophy and approach to performing comedy, you take special note of the things you disagree with as much as the things you agree with.

I probably have the most fun on projects where there's some room to improvise.
