“My singing voice has sort of an Ethel Merman-type quality: just, like, loud and strong and full.”

“My whole life, not just in my professional career but in community theater, I played the supporting role.”

“There's nothing that makes me sad about being a supporter.”

“There's something so beautiful in playing a character that supports another character's success.”

“I did my first little kids' musical, 'The Sound of Music,' at 5, in a jungle gym, essentially. I was a made-up Von Trapp child, Ingrid Von Trapp.”

“I feel really lucky in that all of the projects I worked on I've been comfortable saying, 'I don't want to wear this.' No one has forced me into being anything I don't want to be. On 'Neighbors,' being chubbier than the other two actresses, I was like, 'Am I gonna get the chubby girl wardrobe?' But I ended up liking my wardrobe the best.”

“I rely way too much on Seamless, and I really need to learn how to feed myself.”

“My roommate and best friend from college had the picture of 'Frances Ha' as her Facebook cover photo. That movie meant a lot to us.”

“It took time, and it happened gradually, but by the time I started college, I felt truly comfortable with my body.”

“I'll remember my life as pre-'Lady Bird' and post-'Lady Bird.'”

“As far as theater goes, Sarah DeLappe's 'The Wolves' is one of my favorite things I've ever seen.”

“When you have two people who are the smart girls, then the 'smart' ceases to exist; they're just women who are smart.”

“I wake up every morning to 'Take a Chance on Me' as my iPhone alarm - it really gets you going.”
