I love the rain. It's my favorite weather.

I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you're like, 'What's wrong with me?'

I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.

I really, really want to go to Paris. I've never been.

At parties, I'll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, 'Forget it,' and then start eating things.

The weddings that I've been in have been pretty mellow.

I'm not as much a history person as an art person, but I mean, you can read history through art.

There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.

When you go out of your comfort zone and it works there's nothing more satisfying.

If you're creating anything at all, it's really dangerous to care about what people think.

There's something about a Christmas sweater that will always make me laugh.

With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

You have to leave things that you love.

Sometimes I need to blow off steam and go dance really hard.

Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't.

I wish I had a lot of tattoos.

It sounds so cheesy, but there's something very powerful about looking in the mirror and asking yourself a question. Because I think it's really hard to lie.

I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.

I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York.

I think it's an interesting thing to watch when a person is trying to keep it together and then ultimately when they do lose it a little bit.

I enjoy being characters rather than myself.

I hated speaking in public. I would miss school just so I wouldn't have to do it.

When you're on your deathbed, you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.

Why can't there be a lot of great women who are doing great things?

I like to write and draw and paint, and my mom's an artist, so I think I get caught up in thinking, 'I'm afraid it's gonna be bad,' and it's hard for me to start sometimes.
