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
I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.
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 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
I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.
Ana Gasteyer
I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.
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
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'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
I've always lived in a city.
Ana Gasteyer
Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.
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
Be tenacious. Get as much stage time as possible.
Ana Gasteyer
I always loved comedy but I didn't start formally until I was in college.
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
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 always tried not to be too mean, but my problem is that the people I tend to find hilarious don't usually have senses of humor. So interacting with them is a little bit of an awkward engagement, because I can't really make them laugh, on top of which I've been doing an impression of them.
Ana Gasteyer
I've done a ton of theater work and dramatic work, but nobody really knows me that way.
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.
