I think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.

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.

I had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

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
The producers had seen In a World... and that's where they found me out and consequently sought me out for this role [in Man up].
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
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.

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.

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
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
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
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.

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
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
It's like the most profound accomplishment that I've had in my career, that I can finally be that voice.
Lake Bell
I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.
Lake Bell
When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.
Lake Bell
Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.
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'm going to say a phrase or terminology or vowel that I don't know how to attack .
Lake Bell
I think coming to work and being absurd and neurotic and thoughtful at the same time is far more interesting.
