I've always just shown up to set and said the lines, [but] I want to help develop scripts and help cast and help bring a visual tone to something.

We live in a time where improv is king and people love improv, and I think there's a time and a place for that and people who are really good at structuring improv.

I think it's very hard to go into the same business as your family when you're an artist.

There's innate competition, I think, between mothers and daughters - mine no more so than anyone else.

I work constantly to be better at being rejected.

Both of my parents were incredibly supportive of me being in any arts, because they were both in the arts. They weren't the typical story of, "Oh, get a real job. You need to make money." They basically said, "Yup, be an artist. You'll be broke your whole life but you'll be happy."

No one is trying to be bad for the sake of being bad - there's always a reason behind it.
