The older I get, the more I appreciate what came before.

There was a male sketch group in my college. I was like why isn't there a female sketch group? So then I started doing sketch comedy and all that stuff. It just happened.

I really love being a character actor. I have to say I wish it were a little easier. There are still a lot of things that I don't get, like I do wish I had more of my own.

I find more of an authenticity in people who are a little strange - so I really like characters who are just the tiniest bit weird. I find enormous comfort in that - someone who's kind of normal just doesn't feel as true.

My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.

I had been wanting to do a musical for a really long time. I wanted people in New York to know that I can sing.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they're religious.
