I'm not really the sex symbol type.

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.

You can take anything, and if you explore it right, you can make it funny.

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.

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

With any show, when fans come up to you, they assume you're just like your character.
