You can make the audience laugh, be funny and sad at the same time.

In real life, my son had a little injury a couple of years ago where we had moved into a new house and he put his hand through a glass window and it cut him really badly. Thank god he had surgery and repaired everything, but I remember I felt frozen I was so scared, and then I realized I was holding my hand just because his hand was hurt.

I definitely have loads of respect for writers and the art of writing.

I think things get a lot better after high school. I think the ones that struggle during that time tend to have better experiences after.

I think people pick up on that. You use personal stuff and mix it all in - I definitely pull on that stuff in my acting.

I feel like there is this resurgence of amazing roles for women. It's because TV is so good - there are amazing parts for women on TV, and it's upped the game in movies.

I certainly struggled when I was little and didn't have an easy time, so I try to put that stuff in my work.
