More quotes by 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.

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

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.

I sort of loved the bustle of a thousand questions. Women are inherently kind of multitaskers.

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 think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.
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
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
There are a lot of funny people and a lot of unfunny people. Some of them are women and some of them are dudes.
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.
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.
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 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
When I do an accent I commit fully and take it very seriously.
Lake Bell
Filmmaking is a huge privilege it's not brain surgery. It's art, and art is supposed to be an enjoyable process, and it is an enjoyable experience for me.
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
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
When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.
