You don't. It doesn't work. One day, you wake up, and you've learned how to store it, and you go to another part of the heart.

When I was a struggling actress in New York in my 20s I worked in a burger joint called Diane's Uptown. I actually loved waiting tables. I still keep who I was in my mind and never take anything for granted.

I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make.

Sure, I'm an optimistic, joyous person, but I'm also afraid and insecure.

I haven't always acted or reacted in a way that made me proud, but I didn't make that same mistake twice, and I think that's what I love about adversity is that it always reminds me of what's really valuable in life.

I was so thankful that I got to go back to comedy and I felt bad that I had abandoned something that I guess I was naturally given and lucky to have an loved all of my life, but didn't love it anymore because I didn't get to do it the right way.

I think people who do comedy tend to do it well, and to do it painfully and truthfully. So making the leap to drama is easier for them because everything they've done is from pain anyway.
