You know, right now, they say - I don't know who says this, but somebody told me - there's three male roles to every female role. And I guess I'd work on evening that up. Making great roles for women. It's just such a huge challenge

My comedy does not come from a place of deep cynicism, and I tend to play characters who are naive in some way.

I don't know what I'm doing as a parent at all.

It's always exciting to be a part of the development and creative process, and I hope to continue to do it. I feel like, especially in the comedic world, it's how things have to be done. You have to be a part of the motivating factor of getting the movie made. It's so hard.

The hardest thing in my industry is longevity, getting your next job. It's hard to get the first job, but it's so much harder to get the sixth or seventh as a woman.

I never imagined being able to make money from acting - and now I can.

You have to be willing to accept the idea that people may think you're stupid.

Image
I don't really like to go out to clubs or anything. It's just not my style. I'd much rather go to a dive bar or a local place.

If you don't believe in a line, then you come off as the loser.

I know that's a vague answer, but you just have to really pedal yourself around town and attempt to not get too discouraged. There is also a different kind of challenge for women, as they graduate into their 30s. It's hard. There isn't as much work. You're suddenly the aunt, or something. So, it's a process.

Instead of the mahi mahi, may I just get the one mahi because I’m not that hungry.

I really love comedy and weirdly enough, I love how my journey has ended up. I get to laugh all day long.

I try to keep my head on straight and take nothing for granted.

Blythe Danner is somebody whose career I admire. She's a great actress and does good work, but also has a life of her own. I love my job but, at the end of the day, I want to come home and watch a movie and drink a bottle of wine with my husband.

Hollywood studio executives don't recognize the value of female performers as much as male performers.
Anna Faris
Image
Yeah, I do like scary movies, especially the ones that don't take themselves too seriously.
Anna Faris

I feel like all comedy does require a lack of vanity, but multi-cam, especially.

The eyes are the nipples of the face.

I was never the class clown or anything like that. When I was growing up and doing theatre in Seattle I was always doing very dramatic work... Now I can’t get a dramatic role to save my life!
Anna Faris

In every career, you are balancing or negotiating tricky waters. But, I think that's been something nice that comedy has been able to give me a little bit more. I have the ability to laugh at myself and hopefully not take all of this whole world too seriously.

I used to feel this need to prove to people that I can do something dramatic. But, the truth is that I don't know if I can. I don't think I have it in my skill set. It would be great, but I do love making comedies. It's been so much fun for me, and I hope that I can continue to do it.
