You have to be kinder to yourself, because it's a part of being good.

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.

Being an actor is definitely not the hardest job in the world - it's definitely a first-world problem to have, but I'm not very good with rejection. I constantly question whether or not I'm suited for this business, because it is your job to get rejected.

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

There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.

Even though I'm on a show that I love with people that I love - I have basically the dream job - that doesn't mean I'm not getting rejected on a daily basis.

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