“Breaking is when someone starts to laugh in the middle of a scene, which is so fun to watch.”

“The greatest relationships are often the unexpected ones.”
“I trained at The Groundlings and was surrounded by some very funny women and also some very unfunny men. I didn't feel a sense of things being different because I was a girl.”
“I love football.”
“That's what I love doing - finding ways to make a personality as extreme as you can before it starts to get goofy.”

“It would be great to do another television show that was a multi-camera because the hours are so wonderful and you can be a good mom at the same time. The problem is, there aren't a lot of multi-camera shows that I personally like. My aesthetic is more geared toward single-camera shows.”

“When I was 12, I introduced my mom to Def Leppard's 'Pour Some Sugar on Me.' I told her it was an amazing song, and I remember her not really agreeing with me.”
