I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.

More quotes by Lake Bell
When I do an accent I commit fully and take it very seriously.
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
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
I think coming to work and being absurd and neurotic and thoughtful at the same time is far more interesting.
Lake Bell
Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.
Lake Bell
I feel very lucky that when I'm burnt out of acting I take to the pen and I write something I want to direct.
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
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
The reason I got into this business was for the privilege to exist in different genres and different worlds and play out different realities.
Lake Bell
But I'd say 'How to Make It in America' is the most accurate depiction of the New York hipster community on television for sure.
Lake Bell
I love fashion. I always have. When I was a kid, I was in almost full-on costumes when I went to school, and I've retained a bit of that in my adulthood.
Lake Bell
I sort of loved the bustle of a thousand questions. Women are inherently kind of multitaskers.
Lake Bell
You have to be steadfast, and right now I'm on a stream train forward to make.
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
I'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .
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.
Lake Bell
I worked with an amazing dialect coach named Jill McCullough. We did Skype sessions while I was shooting No Escape in Thailand, actually. So three times a week I would have long, two-hour sessions with her just working on the nuance of the accent, which I had had a huge background in because I went to drama school in England for four years.
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
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 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.
