I know my mom said as early as she can remember letting me watch TV, my one treat a week when I was like 6 was to stay up and watch 'Saturday Night Live.'

My parents are the coolest of the cool on every single level, and it's because they have a deep appreciation for every moment of their lives.

In college, I had a lot of friends who were writers and wanted to be writers and I felt intimidated by it. I just didn't know if I had any gift or voice and I had no confidence about it.

With acting, the stark reality for women is that it's nearly impossible to get older in an elegant fashion as an actress. Either you're fighting your age, or you're having to own it in a way that feels inelegant, or you're Meryl Streep and you're an angel from God.

Streaking through a large crowd has always been a secret fantasy of mine.

I love being part of an ensemble.

For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters.
