Quotes

“[Bill proposed to me] in our apartment and it was beautiful. There were flowers everywhere. It was really beautiful and he was traditional and got down on one knee. It was just very simple but lovely and wonderful.”

“I never really wanted to write and wanted to focus on acting. My goal was never to be a sketch comedian, but these past four years I have figured out that I love to write, and can write, and I feel like it’s now a part of what I want to do.”

“I didn’t have 10 years of experience under my belt when I went on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ There were a lot of more seasoned actors I think that we’re kind of like ‘who do you think you are? I tried not to pay attention to it, but it was difficult because you’re always seeking approval from your peers. I ran into that ageism.”

“SNL was still a boys club when I was there. At least it felt like it. I feel it in a lot of comedy experiences that I do, but you just kind of have to own it and and allow yourself to thrive and still be successful and not pay any attention to it. You have to figure out your voice, and make your stamp.”

“My dad has told me you don’t have to do this. If you’re not having fun, it’s not worth it. That’s advice I would pass on. If you’re not having fun, if you’re working with terrible people get out of there. Don’t waste your time. Life’s too short.”
