My wedding will be a great party where I can get drunk and have a good time.

I know a lot of actors talk about the importance of wardrobe, and it always seems like it's kind of a cop-out, maybe, because it seems like a minor detail to some people. But I think it's hugely important.

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.

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.

My comedy does not come from a place of deep cynicism, and I tend to play characters who are naive in some way.
Anna Faris
Image
Years ago, I was thinking about this type of character and what happens when you've lived in this sort of strange, surreal world where it's parties all the time and then you don't get to live there anymore. What do you do with the rest of your life?

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.

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

Yeah, I do like scary movies, especially the ones that don't take themselves too seriously.

You have to create your own stuff. It's really exciting to create something, sell it, and feel like I'm not just a pawn waiting to be cast

I did come to realize that getting your first job is hard, but it's not nearly as hard as getting your seventh job. That is hard. That's when you really have to prove it to people.
