I think it's actually a misperception that I am a comedic actress. I do more drama than comedy but very little of it has been seen. When you are in big funny movies and they do well and your little part in it kind of explodes people perceive you as a comedian.

The things that scare you only make you better and stronger.

I look for roles that resonate with me these days. While I love putting out just fabulous entertainment, I think now as artists, especially with so much uncertainty going on in the world, you want to be a part of things that offer or promote healing in some way and perhaps a little introspection once you leave.

Where I'm from, you learned about God before you learned to read and write. Our faith is what grounds us.

I want to find things that challenge me.

I like a person who knows how to say something dark at a very dark moment. The darker the moment and the darker the comic, the better. Something that is so wrong on all levels.

It is important to learn as much as you can about the person and then throw it all away so that you're not in any way doing some sort of mimicry.
