Breaking is when someone starts to laugh in the middle of a scene, which is so fun to watch.

I trained at The Groundlings and was surrounded by some very funny women and also some very unfunny men. I didn't feel a sense of things being different because I was a girl.

The funniest people I know were, not necessarily troubled, but had a harder time in school or were shy or picked on or something like that. I think that you rely on it. Well, I don't think I'm cute and no one wants to hang out with me - I'd better start trying to make people laugh. I think there's an element of that in there.

Sometimes, I find that just the simplest, cleanest things that are intelligently performed are funniest to me.

It would be great to do another television show that was a multi-camera because the hours are so wonderful and you can be a good mom at the same time. The problem is, there aren't a lot of multi-camera shows that I personally like. My aesthetic is more geared toward single-camera shows.

I’d just like to be good at sports. I’m extremely competitive with absolutely nothing to back it up.

You know, I have the best parents in the world and I got really, really lucky because they think that everything I do is Oscar-worthy.

You can take anything, and if you explore it right, you can make it funny.
