I've always wanted to work for, like, "Assume your audience is cleverer than you," rather than the other way around.

I'm a huge fan of basically anything written about complicated, contradictory women. I'm drawn to them really quickly.

I've always wanted to work for, like, "Assume your audience is cleverer than you," rather than the other way around.

I know actors who say acting is acting, but I love the live-ness of an audience. I love feeling the energy of a room and allowing them to sort of teach you how to do it better.

Actually, my worst nightmare is losing my best friend, as I imagine most people's are.

I suppose every time [something bad happens], I have that instinct to make that joke that distracts.

I just love any kind of language that can change the energy in a room. There are no limits for me, as long as it feels like it's being used in a particular way to garner or elicit a very particular reaction, so that you can then use that reaction later for something else. But when it's gratuitous language or physical exposure, then I get a bit like, "Oh! Put it away!"
