“This morning I was laughing at my cat who was running up the stairs and slipped, and pretended like it didn't happen.”

“I'm constantly bumping and banging into things.”

“I don't remember my dreams. I'm one of those weird people. I know there are tricks and things you can do, but I never remember my dreams.”

“Honestly, there always has to be a jar of Marmite in the cupboard. And a bag of Fruit Gums. That's living with a British man for me.”

“I'm really drawn to comedy. I grew up in the South, so I'm drawn to all things southern, so my role in 'Getting On' has been fun for me to play something southern - I always feel like I understand those characters more because of where I was raised.”

“I'm like a crazy cat lady.”

“My husband calls me a ginger every single day of my life, so that I'm completely used to it, and I've come to see it as a term of endearment.”

“I like jeans and t-shirts.”

“I was a big fan of 'The Smurfs' growing up, even though by default - my mom used to force me to watch because she was a 'Smurfs' fan.”

“Whether it's buying products or researching what you're buying, or just becoming aware of what you're buying, you're saying so much with the money that you're spending.”

“Jane Lynch is incredibly quick-witted, very intelligent, and extremely humorous. Also, on top of that all, just a very wonderful, warm, kind person. She's definitely someone to look up to.”

“When I first moved to L.A., I cleaned apartments after people moved out. When people move, they leave stuff behind and haven't cleaned for weeks. I like to clean - I have no problem with cleaning - but some apartments were filthy and disgusting. And there'd always be a random flip-flop left somewhere on its own.”

“I was really across-the-board, like a nutcase. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, so I just did everything. I was even part of FHA, Future Homemakers of America. How lost was I?”

“I did math in school, obviously. And I loved all my math teachers.”

“In 'The Smurfs,' I was actually a live action character. So, I was a real person in that movie. But I was working with animated characters, which is very strange because they're off recording their work, and we're kind of reacting to nothing when we're doing the film.”

“I did work at a mall in college - I think retail/customer service is just one of the most hideous jobs in the world. So I always try to be extra nice when I go into a store. But malls are part of our culture, if you watched any teen comedy in the '80s. it's clear that malls are where we live!”

“I grew up singing in the church choir, but I've not really had any training.”

“I loved playing Emma Pillsbury so much.”
