More quotes by Ana Gasteyer
I'm not much of a famous-person friend. I've hung out with Brooke Shields and I don't think I've ever seen that kind of pure face recognition, but I keep a low profile.
Ana Gasteyer
Be tenacious. Get as much stage time as possible.
Ana Gasteyer
There are different kinds of actors, and movie actors tend to be exceedingly precise and mechanical in a way that's really admirable for me to watch. You always learn from them.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest. The experience of working there is something of a battleground, a great one, but complicated. I think there's a deep connection for having survived that workplace.

Ana Gasteyer

Ana Gasteyer

Ana Gasteyer
I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.
Ana Gasteyer
I played Liddy Dole last year and met her as well. From the artful way she phrased it, I still don't know if she had actually seen me play her. She made it sound like it was good, but that's just a gift they have.
Ana Gasteyer
It's definitely like being in some weird sorority. I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.
Ana Gasteyer
Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.
Ana Gasteyer
I actually like character work, so for me, generally speaking, I enjoy it. It's a little bit more of a comfortable suit you put back on. You can explore it and have fun with it and push the limits of it.
Ana Gasteyer
It’s funny, there are so many women who are former executives and have taken all that stress and anxiety and transferred it onto their kids.
