So when my film career took off, I always felt like I was trying to play catch-up because I hadn't studied acting before. I didn't know how to manage money or my career. When I look back, I think I was a little bit shell-shocked.

As a mother, anyone who has a teenager can attest to being really excited when they have something positive to be putting their energy into. They have so much energy, and it can go in the wrong direction.

The whole experience of doing a sitcom is... Telling jokes with such precision is really exciting, but it's also terrifying.

Supporting myself at an early age was the best training for life I could have possibly received.

I love really crappy carnivals, where you think the ride is going to break. There's something so seedy about them.

And I definitely gravitate toward people who use laughter to pull themselves out of the abyss.

In my deepest parts of sadness, I'm always making a joke or being sarcastic.
