“I would love to be doing more voice-over work. It's such a fun and free playground to take risks, play around, and get sort of ridiculous.”

“Regardless of what kind of film, the number one rule of comedy is to never take yourself too seriously and then the next rule is you can't have any self-consciousness, otherwise it kills the laugh, and that will never change.”

“Sitting around with Jim Carrey, coming up with bits, is, like, beyond a dream come true.”

“When you're having a good time working on something, and you all like each other, it shows in ways that you don't even realize.”

“There's pressure to come up with something genius every time. I feel like I keep letting myself down with my Twitter posts. I have to start keeping a journal of rough drafts of prophetic ideas about the world.”

“I don't have to fear that if I do more comedy I'm not going to get to do everything I want. I'll get to do my 'Yentl.'”

“Women care about their friends.”

“I was a precocious only child, and then I went through a fat, awkward stage for several years, so I learned to fall back on my humor and personality when I was growing up. It's how you survive, so I think it was more of a natural progression for me, developing into comedy.”
