Actress

I think you always carry a little bit of your character you've ever played with you. And I hope I'm able to carry some of Mrs. Maisel with me.

Issa Rae is a hero of mine, and I'm going to try not to completely creep her out. I love 'Insecure.'

Home is where your rump rests.

No one should ever be forced to choose between food and education, or medicine and shelter when they don't have the resources. It's very unfair.

It's very difficult when you have $1.50 per day to spend on food and drink, but for people who live this reality, that money also has to cover medical expenses and education, fuel and shelter - sometimes for an entire family.

Drama was all I ever wanted to do. There was no plan B!

I grew up on the North Shore of Chicago, and I don't think I had a friend that wasn't Jewish. I spent more time in a temple than any other house of worship. I've been to about 150 bar and bat mitzvahs.

History is told through the eyes of men about men.

I can't claim to ever have done stand-up.

It's a strange thing that we're actors, and we're always playing a character, and then suddenly we're at a place like Cannes, and we're getting photographed as ourselves, and you're like, 'What do you do?'

I'm used to one-dimensional female friendships. It's become a kind of trope.

Trying my hand at standup was exciting to me.

I really love period pieces.

I think where I feel the most vulnerable and anxious and sometimes insecure is when it comes to my work. It's arguably the thing that I care about the most.

Wrestling is like improv. You have to feel and sense what the other person is going to do next and respond faster than they do.
