As much as I don't want to admit it, I really am a people pleaser. If I throw a party at my house, it's hard for me to relax. I'm too obsessed with whether everyone's having a good time.

When I moved to New York out of college, that was my goal. To be a stage actress. And to do dramatic works. Like Madea, and Night, Mother, and Sam Shepard, and all that kind of stuff. Thats what I really wanted to do.

I come from the place of thinking, 'Whatever works for people' - and if you haven't been exposed to anything else, you really don't know better.

I told my agents that I love Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand and all of these women who are good at doing comedies, as well as dramas.

I feel like I work on scripts for comedy as well as dramatic stuff the same.

I really wanted to do things that weren't comic. It felt like finding people who can see this other side to me.

I love Frances McDormand so much. I love her career. And I think it's fun because she gets to do comedy as well as drama.
