Acting is really about showing up that day and telling the writers what you feel like saying.

You don't just decide to destroy a person by making up stuff, and no one at 'SNL' is writing to go after someone.

Even when I was at 'SNL,' I didn't do impersonations. I always wanted to be the kind of person who could do them - I always thought they were the coolest thing on the show - but I didn't have any experience.

Finally the world would see my full range of comedy characters - from grouchy librarian to Russian librarian.

Whatever the problem, be part of the solution. Don’t just sit around raising questions and pointing out obstacles.

I was the editor of the school newspaper and in drama club and choir, so I was not a popular girl in the traditional sense, but I think I was known for being relatively scathing.

And I can see Russia from my house.
