I’m the youngest in my family and everyone is very funny, and I was always trying to keep up with them. I just loved making people laugh.

I just want to start writing, whether or not any of it is useable or marketable.

From elementary school on up through junior high school, I loved to perform. But I put it all away during high school and college. I thought, "That's not actually something you do with your life." But then I was compelled to try it after college. I just got overcome.

[Detractors] are just wrong, and that's okay. They just don't see it yet. That's what I would tell myself to keep those moments of doubt, only moments.

I actually made an effort to reject acting, to shove it out of my body, because I didn't want my kids to have an actress as a mother-to have, like, a silly person.

There was a time there when I thought going out was so fun. I don't know how it happens, but suddenly that's not a priority anymore.

To be able to let you know who someone is in just a couple of words, I'd have to pick the most pronounced features of a character's personality. And I always feel like I'm leaving out so many important little ones.
