My parents are the coolest of the cool on every single level, and it’s because they have a deep appreciation for every moment of their lives.
I think I’m a natural appreciator of comedy. I was definitely not the girl in junior high that all the guys wanted to date. They wanted to date my friends – which was great, because I had to be funny.
I think every girl has that a guy she has trouble letting go of.
Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.
I know what it’s like to have my heart broken. It is not adorable.
I kind of understand now why people freak out when they see celebrities that they love, because that’s how I feel about every single Muppet.
Comedy is like music, and the way to make the best music is to have skilled musicians in your band.
Auditioning is the worst.
Ads featuring real women and real beauty are such a necessary component to offset the potentially dangerous programming out there for little girls.
I think that women are powerful and they’re multifaceted and they’re survivors; they don’t have to depend on a man to do the things they needed them to do, whether it was hunting or lifting heavy things, so what’s a man’s place now? Who knows!
I’m a sponge. I’m obsessed with comedy. I’m obsessed with the idea that you can make somebody laugh, and I love to be around people who can make other people laugh.
I think part of being an adult is leaving the fairytale behind.
I love guys and the way they think; they’re so straightforward – and women can learn from that.
I’m lucky because I have so many clashing cultural, racial things going on: black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I can float and be part of any community I want.
I have a deep respect for musicians, and I feel like I would want to be so prepared and so well-educated and deep in the process before I ever release anything.
In elementary and high school, I never considered acting as a profession.
I’ve always dreamt of having some sort of undercover job. I think it’s probably the coolest thing in the world, but ultimately a very lonely life.
I’m terrified of performing live.
There’s room for everything in everybody.
My first love, I’ll never forget, and it’s such a big part of who I am, and in so many ways, we could never be together, but that doesn’t mean that it’s not forever. Because it is forever.
