Writers tend to hate recurring characters there's this writer snob thing about it. But I don't have that. I feel like the challenge is always to find a cool and innovative way to do it and, obviously, to not repeat your jokes.

More quotes by Ana Gasteyer
It's fun to watch a true-blue movie star at work. They're really unbelievably charismatic. They understand camera angles.
Ana Gasteyer
I've always lived in a city.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm pretty earthy I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.
Ana Gasteyer
You know, once somebody knows you can sing Elphaba, it's like being able to sing Evita - people shut up about it already.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.
Ana Gasteyer
I've done a ton of theater work and dramatic work, but nobody really knows me that way.

I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.

I was inspired more by early Bette Midler. I do wear a fancy dress and very high heels - and extra high hair. My goal is to obliterate all earnestness.
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.
Ana Gasteyer
I like playing the same person over and over again. I've done shows for over a year on Broadway, and I never get bored.

Ana Gasteyer
I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.
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
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
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
I always loved comedy but I didn't start formally until I was in college.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.
Ana Gasteyer
I like anything with a live audience. I love sitcom work. I hope it comes back in fashion because I really love it. I love single-camera work, too, but in a different way than that live-audience thing, which is really exciting.
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.
