I love stories about misfits and underdogs.
You have got to have an agent. Its a business. But I think there is a way to be artful and commercial at the same time.
You don’t realize how easy one is until you have two. Now I’m really a mom. Oh, I am a mom now! This is for serious – I am responsible for two people now.
I love physical comedy. I love Oscar Wilde, I love Shakespeare comedies, I love improv.
There’s never enough money, there’s never enough time, there’s never enough reliable help around, anything you plan always goes wrong – it’s just hard to be human, isn’t it?
As an actor myself, the opportunity to sing and dance and be dramatic and be funny – it’s really irresistible to actors. You get to show all sides of your talent.
As an actor, you go through life thinking “This stop is the last stop,” so you just put your heart and soul into everything and do your best work.
I do want to work on a larger scale with bigger budgets partially as a way to prove that women can do that, for sure. I definitely feel a bit of a responsibility to do that.
It’s really fun to watch yourself disappear in the movie every day.
I’m always reaching to find something that will challenge me and make me do my best.
It’s pretty easy to hear what people are physically responding to versus what’s just flat as a pancake in the room when it comes to jokes.
So knowing that you can actually help yourself stay healthy over a long shoot where you get no sleep and what you eat really matters. It really mattered that there was a juice bar. You know?
It’s really hard to stay healthy over the long term of making a movie so that’s why those things matter when you’re trying to keep your health, literally.
I’m actively looking for things to direct again. I had such an amazing experience on this. I really am spoiled.
I’m sort of the bossiest sister.
I love the finality of film. When you make a movie, you know the beginning, middle, and end.
I got Twitter identity theft.
I’m really interested in making movies that people see: I’ve made a lot of independent films and it’s really depressing when no one sees them.
I really enjoy the direct dialogue with the fans. I’m very cognizant of my audience. I’m a trained storyteller and entertainer, and I know I wouldn’t be able to work at the level I work at if people didn’t enjoy what I did.
I’m perfectly happy to have the reputation as a comedian. I love comedies, I would love to be doing more comedies. But I also feel like I hit the limit on playing the girlfriend type in a lot of rom-coms that aren’t actually rom-coms, but guy movies that happen to have girls in them.
