I always had a pretty serious fascination with fire. Luckily I'm not an arsonist!
In general, the threshold for a woman becoming worried at how she's coming off in terms of asserting her power, that threshold is continually lower than it is for men.
'Bridesmaids' was phenomenal. It deserves every accolade it's gotten, and it's exciting for every woman in comedy.
As me, I couldn't love my cohorts P.J. Byrne and David Faustino more. I just adore them, and any opportunity to be in a room with them is just a kick in the pants; I love it.
Gabriel Diani has been my friend and collaborator for 14 years. He and Etta Devine are two of my favorite people and two of my favorite creative minds.
It's easy to be silly in real life, but making stuff up onstage, that seemed hard. Better to be the funny person off-the-cuff in the room than to risk being unfunny onstage.
I did a pilot for Nickelodeon that didn't end up going to series.
I just want to be Patty McCormack. I want to spend every year aging the way she has.
I guess I knew I was a people person, but I didn't know how much till I had a podcast.
I like to live in a world of unicorns and rainbows where I don't pay attention to anything unless it's positive.
I think there's part of me that's longing to play a Sherlock Holmes or sort of a House character, like a real detective. Like a real, moody detective. Like a real, sarcastic, mentally ill detective. I think it would be really fun to do something like that.
Even if you're an optimist, there's some part of you that just tries to toughen up and be pragmatic and go, 'This isn't gonna happen. This isn't gonna happen.' I really felt that way through the process of 'Korra' because I knew 'Avatar,' and I knew how wonderful it was, and I was so terrified.
I never pursued anything in terms of performing comedy until I was in my twenties. I was basically forced into it by a couple of my friends who were starting a sketch troupe and thought I'd be good at it. I was kind of terrified by it, but I gave it a try. I am so grateful to those guys for believing in me and viciously twisting my arm!
The good thing about being in San Francisco is it's a city that seems to have the flexibility and undefined boundaries.
I believe that truth is one of the most powerful tools we possess against victimization, exploitation, and fear.
