I've always surrounded myself with funny people.

When I was 9, my parents let me take a cab to the mall all by myself. I had hardly any money to spend, but I did have a very specific list of things I wanted to do: buy cookies and sit on the furniture at Sears.

When I was in acting class, we did a lot of really serious scenes, and we didn't do comedic scenes. I felt like doing those scenes, it didn't come out of my mouth the right way. I don't know if it's because my voice is different, or what it is about me, but it just seemed a little off.

When I started auditioning, I'd take any audition I could get. The more dramatic ones didn't go as well as the comedic.

I don't understand why people think it's harder to do drama than it is to do comedy.

We discovered that we have a fun chemistry physically. Cameron [Diaz] has really long legs and a short torso, and I have a really long torso and shorter legs.

I guess Judd (Apatow) is my soul mate because we have a lot of hard times, and it's great at times, too.
