When I was doing comedy in New York, before I was in movies, I was never known as the deadpan actress. I was just a comedienne.

I'm not super comfortable in my skin. I have to make it work for me, and that usually amounts to making it uncomfortable for everyone else.

I can't say I follow politics extremely closely, but I'm definitely aware of what's going on in the world.

I've always wanted to do all kinds of roles, dramatic roles and comedic roles, all kinds of roles.

Once you do a character in Hollywood and people haven't seen you before, they put you in a box and they think that's all that you can do and it's hard to get people to take a risk on you.

I have a way of dealing with situations where I come off awkward, or people think I’m purposely trying to make things uncomfortable. But normally I’m talking really slowly or there’s a lot of silence because there’s just nothing going on. I’m just totally freaking out, but from the outside perspective it looks like I’m in control.

I always want to keep growing and keep surprising people, and showing them different parts of me.
