I realised that conforming didn't accomplish anything. Do your own thing. As long as you learn that, you're cool.

After a while, you have no idea how old you are because you've lied so many times.

I was able to say to everyone, 'Would you be willing to take a role that you've cherished and worked on for a long time and change it to female?' And there was not any hesitation, which was a real win. That hopefully shows a shift in the climate for women in film, although we still have some climbing to do.

Latinos, Asians, African-Americans, women - we're all trying to find our place in this world of cinema and television and theater. And the great thing with comedy is that most of the time, you could be orange. It doesn't matter, as long you're funny.

I was a little worried that the familiarity would be a little weird, but I think for me everything is musical in my life. For me, timing is a rhythm.

My mother was ahead of her time as a woman.

I like lists, I'm controlling, I like order. I'm difficult on every level.
