When you live in a leading lady's body, which I do, you have to constantly prove that you are funny.

I'm perfectly happy to have the reputation as a comedian. I love comedies, I would love to be doing more comedies. But I also feel like I hit the limit on playing the girlfriend type in a lot of rom-coms that aren't actually rom-coms, but guy movies that happen to have girls in them.

As an actor, you go through life thinking "This stop is the last stop," so you just put your heart and soul into everything and do your best work.

As a producer, I really get to tell stories that I care about in a way that I want to. I get to shape them. I get to choose the collaborators. That's really gratifying as a storyteller. And also, frankly, it's really fun to create jobs for other people.

It's really fun to watch yourself disappear in the movie every day.

I have a production company because this is the only job I know and this is the only career I have and the only industry I've ever worked in and the only contacts I have. It's like why wouldn't I produce?

I'm actively looking for things to direct again. I had such an amazing experience on this. I really am spoiled.
