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.

More quotes by 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 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 love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.
Ana Gasteyer
I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.
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 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
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 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'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.
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've always lived in a city.
Ana Gasteyer
Be tenacious. Get as much stage time as possible.
Ana Gasteyer
Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.
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
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 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
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 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
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
It's fun to watch a true-blue movie star at work. They're really unbelievably charismatic. They understand camera angles.
