I loved performing; I was always trying to impress my siblings by being a clown. I think that came from being the runt of the litter.

I have drive, for sure. You have to. It's a tough business; there are a lot of actresses and not a lot of great roles. I don't want to complain because I'm so grateful.

I see some of the clothes from the '90s is back in fashion. That really freaks me out because that's when I grew up.

I've been reading The Feminine Mystique by Betty Friedan, which is obviously very dated now but still relevant. It's so interesting to see how far we've come and how far we haven't come with all these myths that people put onto women.

Comedy has to have momentum in order for it to keep moving along.

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.

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