My American accent is really, really good. I started out in the theater, doing all different characters with all different accents. When I first came to America, I thought I would be playing American, all the time. It was just weird how it worked out that I played more international characters.

At school, nobody thought I was smart and I became smart. Nobody wanted to be my friend and then I had lots of friends.

Work hard to achieve integrity in your work and your relationships with the people you work with.

For a comedienne, you have to have a little tragedy or a dark side, just not too much. Otherwise it's too disruptive.

I like to take things one step at a time, because the entertainment industry is very uncertain.

There are so many glamorous actresses, but you know what? In the real world, nobody looks like that.

I do acting for the awards... and cash money.
