I think people think of Oregon as such a granola, hippie kind of a place.

Breaking is when someone starts to laugh in the middle of a scene, which is so fun to watch.

You know, I have the best parents in the world and I got really, really lucky because they think that everything I do is Oscar-worthy.

The funniest people I know were, not necessarily troubled, but had a harder time in school or were shy or picked on or something like that. I think that you rely on it. Well, I don't think I'm cute and no one wants to hang out with me - I'd better start trying to make people laugh. I think there's an element of that in there.

I trained at The Groundlings and was surrounded by some very funny women and also some very unfunny men. I didn't feel a sense of things being different because I was a girl.

Sometimes, I find that just the simplest, cleanest things that are intelligently performed are funniest to me.

I'm not really the sex symbol type.
