“It's bizarre, almost, how lucky I am that I don't get a lot of trolling and the odd time I do, you just wait and watch because the fans They take out the trash for you, you know what I mean?”

“Normally when we see people of my size, we see them struggling to find confidence to be hot.”

“I will go to the ends of the earth for you, but if you wrong me or if you wrong somebody I love, then you're dead to me forever.”

“I have been begging our show runners to let us meet Dina's dad since Season 1 when we learned that he abandoned her at a gas station when she was a kid.”

“When I first read about Superstore,' I just knew that it would be a really successful show.”

“In 2015, I was at a high point in my career: Superstore,' the sitcom I star in as Dina, premiered on NBC and was getting rave reviews. But at the same time, my health hit rock bottom.”

“I draft things on Twitter five or six times now, where as five, six years ago, I probably would just post and not really censor myself as much. But now I'm like, well, I don't want to post that I ate at McDonald's because then I'm going to get someone telling me I'm fat.”

“Just have a Sunday where you do nothing. Lay around, cover yourselves in dogs and cats like I like do, and just put on some Netflix. There's so much value I think in just allowing yourself to be still.”

“Some of the people I've met in those first few weeks of even trying improv classes are still my friends now - 15, 17 years later.”

“I can look around a room and tell you if there are hidden cameras or not.”

“When you're doing a pilot, you don't know where it will end up, and then you're being put up with the best of the best.”

“As comedians, if nothing else, we're certainly allowed to make fun of ourselves and our own journeys and our own experiences.”

“The truth is is that we have to support each other - there's nothing that the powers that be' want more than women fighting with each other.”

“I've been pretty lucky in general but when I was a teenager the first job I ever got was working at a store very similar to Cloud 9. It was a Canadian chain similar to a Kmart.”

“I am a grudge-holder, I think it's part of my loyal nature.”

“I think that most people have experienced a relationship in their life - whether it be romantic, friendships, family, whatever - where there's somebody who you just really, really idolize. You just want them to feel the same way about you so bad that you kind of miss the red flag that maybe this person isn't super healthy for you.”

“Doing improv regularly forces you to be better almost without trying.”

“I think it's great to have a lot of shows that are featuring women in different kinds of characters, which wasn't so always.”

“People we love have to move away or move on all the time. And it sucks. And it's heartbreaking. But it's a real part of life.”

“People want to engage you by being outraged or faux-outraged at things you're saying, but if you confront them and defend yourself, then people don't like it. But then if you don't and you stay quiet, people don't like that either.”
