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 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.

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
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.

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 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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
When I do an accent I commit fully and take it very seriously.
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
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
You have to be steadfast, and right now I'm on a stream train forward to make.
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
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.
