Actress

If I'm not the best aunt in America, then I don't know what's going on.

I like any film where the female characters are complex and have a functioning imperfection.

I always wanted to be a children's author, and I have a really big library of children's books. All the ones from when I was little, they are just so beautiful. I read kids' books, and they calm me down.

A woman who is not ready to have a baby making it work is not a happy ending to me. It's a personal nightmare.

I waited my whole life to be a woman, so now my clothes are fairly tight.

I feel I have to be totally cemented in my position, all: 'You can't tell me what to do with my body', but there is another part of me that is, you know, myself: vulnerable, with lots of doubts.

I spend so much time hoping things for myself.

I didn't hit puberty until I was, like, 17, so I love to talk about that.

I think it's important to not just speak to like-minded people.

That was something that I learned: It's actually okay if the way that I do my best is when I'm treated well.

I think sometimes in comedy the characters are often sacrificed for the joke, and it's more important for it to be funny than for there to be love.

I sometimes think my earnestness is confused for stupidity, but it shouldn't be.

I wanted to be in New York because I wanted to be on 'SNL.' I spent a lot of time wanting to be on 'Saturday Night Live' as a kid. That's what I wanted.

It's exciting to play someone who is a bit tougher than I am. I liked feeling those adjustments.

I think I was aware when I started doing stand-up, especially on my own, that, yeah, I'm getting up on stage, and I'm a woman, and I dress in a sort of typically feminine fashion.

I'm usually a fairly harsh critic. It depends. I tend to really not watch my work, because I just feel uncomfortable, and I can be highly critical.

The experience of the human, male or female, cannot be completely defined by one startling, surprising, or gigantic life experience.
