I find the female tragedy of insecurity to be hilarious. We get obsessed over issues like the tiny skin tags on our backs or that we're fat. You read one line in a magazine and it sends you into a tailspin.

More quotes by Lake Bell
When you're a director, you have great respect for directors. I am really pretty loyal to any director that I am working for and I want to help them realize whatever story and mood and tone that they're trying to realize. As an actor, you really just are a cog - you are an important cog, but you are just a piece of the machine.
Lake Bell
I like my body, I like to have fun with what I put on, but I also want to remain classic. So I guess my signature is sexy and eclectic but classic.
Lake Bell
It's priceless what you learn when you actually do. It's like going to film school times eleven. The best education is effectively to be functioning in the occupation that you want to take on.

I'm a music person. Music is, for me, the best way to cure any sort of anxiety or icky feelings. I think it immediately takes you out of your element and makes some other person do the work for your thoughts.
Lake Bell
I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.

I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .

I sort of loved the bustle of a thousand questions. Women are inherently kind of multitaskers.
Lake Bell
It's like the most profound accomplishment that I've had in my career, that I can finally be that voice.
Lake Bell
I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.
Lake Bell
I'm not a sketch writer. I know what I am: I have a sensitive comedic sensibility. What turns me on is subtle neurosis. That's my game. I'm not an action writer or a thriller writer and I'm not a sketch writer. I don't pretend to be those things. Then it would not be fun. Then you are in a space where this is painful.
Lake Bell
A friend of mine told me, you know your obsession with girls who talk like sexy babies? You have to put that into your script.
Lake Bell
Part of why I love being an actor is the opportunity to be able to go to distant lands and take on different worlds and concepts and pretend to take on different occupations and statuses.
Lake Bell
I think of myself as a content creator and hopefully one day a content enabler and supporter of others, so that's what my immediate and hopefully future journey is.
Lake Bell
When I do an accent I commit fully and take it very seriously.
Lake Bell
When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.
Lake Bell
I am lactose intolerant, and I always thought it was really funny how people who are lactose intolerant continue to eat dairy, because they like it so much. And I find it not acceptable.
Lake Bell
You have to be steadfast, and right now I'm on a stream train forward to make.
Lake Bell
I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.
Lake Bell
Without strong financial roots, our generation is in a constant state of redefinition. This forces us to think outside the box when it comes to making a living... which sometimes makes it look like we're a mess, but really we're just creative. And we like weed.
Lake Bell
With more money brings more fear and when you're trying to be creative in a fear-based environment it's dangerous. Then decisions are made out of fear, not what's best for the film.
