Most comedians come from a dark past and have a lot of sadness.

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 want to do something I feel like I can do.

Nobody knows how long you're going to have life on Earth, so you really have to work at being joyous and happy.

Sometimes a fan comes up to me, and I'm really interested in how they're acting, so I'll study them and use that in my material.

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.

You really get a feeling, when you're reading scripts, pretty quickly. Within 20 or 25 pages, you can get a sense of the part. I always think about whether I'm right for it and whether I can do it. If I don't think I'm right for it, it should go to somebody else.
