The best and most talented directors - and I think it goes for people too - are the most confident in giving room to their actors and trusting them.

The only thing that I'm not willing to do is really stupid, horribly written sitcoms. It can be tempting during pilot season time, but I realized this a while ago when I almost signed my life away to a stupid pilot.

As I've grown as a person and gotten to know myself more - the question of how someone becomes who they become has gotten really interesting to me.

I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.

I think the world of comedy is a relatively small community, and especially for women in comedy, there just aren't that many people involved.

Stand-up comedy is still a very male-dominated world. You look at a set list and maybe there's one woman on there.

Babies are born whole and then they go through experiences in life that chip away at some of that, and it becomes learned behavior.
