“The comedians who I admire that are really good, they always take it to a deep psychological place.”
“I don't wear particular designers. I wear whoever fits me well.”
“I've never really had specific goals and stuff like that - I think I sort of learned early on that if you kind of let life roll in at your feet, you will get a lot of great stuff if you are just aware and open to it.”
“The more I become comfortable in my own skin, I think the funnier I become.”
“I was a huge 'Friends' fan. I had a very small part. I played a real-estate agent in the very last season.”
“We're all conditioned to think we have to get to the top and be the best.”
“I had friendships with two people in my life who, when I attempted to do my habitual behavior of building a case to break up with them, wouldn't allow me to do it. They both said to me, 'I'm not going anywhere.' And that moved me so deeply.”
“There's nothing better than voicing a character. You don't have to worry about what you're wearing; you've got the script in front of you, and it doesn't involve your body: it's all about your voice, and it's really fast work.”

“I think that network TV is going to either have to reinvent itself or it's going to have to be more competitive - there are just so many options now with streaming and everything.”
