As a kid, I wanted to be a boy because I equated that with strength. There's a problem with that. It's only growing into my own womanhood that I realize how warped that is that I was attributing strength to male qualities.

I love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.

I have trouble sleeping, at the end of the night. There's a lot of stimulus and my brain is processing a lot of different arcs and personalities. I'm always processing things, so I don't sleep.

Young women are now looking at me for cues. That's definitely been a responsibility. But I feel like I was ready to take on something like this because I wanted to be challenged and I wanted to be afraid, and that's definitely what it's done for me.

I like 'Futurama.' That's kind of the only thing that's my sci-fi thing, although I was big into zombies for a time.

Those darker sides, the things that we don't want to admit about ourselves - that's what excites me.

For me, comedians are like the epitome for everything great, and they terrify me. I just want to be them. I want to be like them.
