When I'm tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director I then look for an acting gig.

More quotes by Lake Bell
Actually, in my own life I think I probably feign neuroses to be more interesting than I am.
Lake Bell
You have to be steadfast, and right now I'm on a stream train forward to make.
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 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
It's like the most profound accomplishment that I've had in my career, that I can finally be that voice.
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 had had a huge background in the nuance of the accent because I went to drama school in England for four years.

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.

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
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
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 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'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'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
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 think great directors really respect their actors and vice versa. That mutual respect makes the job fun instead of anything but.
Lake Bell
I completely bombed the audition... I was insecure, stopping and starting. I went to the bathroom and cried.
Lake Bell
I think coming to work and being absurd and neurotic and thoughtful at the same time is far more interesting.
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
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.
