A lot of times I play the villain or the comic relief, and I get to kind of play the comic relief to a degree, which is fun, but I also get to say, "You are created in the image in God. You are a perfect child of God. And this part of you is the heart of who you are. You're not alone, and you're okay just the way you are."

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.

People will go into an audition and a casting situation, and they'll see someone across the room that's perhaps slightly famous, or famous, and they think, 'Oh God, I'm not gonna get the part.

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.

I really love being a character actor.

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.

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