As an artist I just think comedic actors are really underrated.

I definitely had creative people around me, but my parents were more just very encouraging.

I liked the Beastie Boys and A Tribe Called Quest and Cypress Hill.

As you get older, you just lose that confidence and narcissism you have in your twenties. You realize you have less time on the planet, and you become cynical and less confident.

I was very, very shy when I was little. Acting lets you access all those different parts of yourself to make the character authentic.

I'm ambitious but I'm not particularly competitive. I'll try to get roles, as I think it's healthy to go for things, but... I think there's too much competition between women already. It's important to have female solidarity and support each other and other actresses.

The physical environment of L.A. is really beautiful. It's actually kinda fun, too, if you're working. It's just not really fun if you're not working and you don't know anybody.
