[Television] is a great medium for writers, because there's just no time for a studio to interfere very long. You write it, you shoot it; it's on TV.

Life is improvisation. All of those [improv] classes were like church to me. The training had seeped into me and changed who I am.

I didn't get on TV until I was 30, which is really fortunate because you are who you are at that point.

Growing up as a girl is always traumatizing, especially when you have the deadly combination of greasy skin and getting your boobs at ten. But I think it's good to grow up that way. It builds character.

After college, I knew I wanted to work in comedy, so the first thing I did was go to where the comedy was. I moved from Charlottesville to Chicago, because that's where The Second City and Improv Olympics are. You have to go wherever you need to go to study what interests you.

I feel like I represent normalcy in some way.

Sometimes if you have a difficult decisin to make, just stall until the answer presents itself.
