The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she's not just annoying. It's that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn't have time because she has so much going on in her brain.

I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool.

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

I don't mean to give performance art a bad name or anything I think there are people that are legit. I think I just got frustrated painting - I love painting I actually tried to be an artist, but it's sensitive, and then you have an object. And what do you do with that object? And then repeat and repeat, blah blah blah.

I personally have a background of many days on end of confusion, understimulation, overstimulation, and uncomfortableness with the world around me.

I'm not married and I don't think that's going to work out for me. I'm not even bitter, I'm just exhausted.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool. I got into acting to avoid politics of any sort, and so I could remain in a fantasy world.

To really be on stage and not know what you're going to say, and to be able to say something that makes people laugh, or do something that's sort of abstract or off the beaten path and have people connect to it by just putting your ideas together, that really makes me happy.

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.

See what a good actress I am? I'm just typing over and over, You're a good person, Mary Lynn! Hang in there! You can do it!

I don't think my acting was ever bad I always knew that I could do it. But when you go to audition for a drama, they're very serious in the room, and I was used to being kind of goofy and having small talk.
