I don't think my acting was ever bad; I always knew that I could do it. But when you go to audition for a drama, they're very serious in the room, and I was used to being kind of goofy and having small talk.

See what a good actress I am? I'm just typing over and over, "You're a good person, Mary Lynn! Hang in there! You can do it!"

I like America. I think it's pretty cool. I got into acting to avoid politics of any sort, and so I could remain in a fantasy world.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

I need to see where I am physically and practicing with NHL players is the best way to find that out.
