I live in Brooklyn.
From Ana Gasteyer
I'm pretty earthy; I nursed forever because I liked it and my kids liked it, but at the same time I'm very laissez-faire about stuff like bedtimes and food.
It's funny, there are so many women who are former executives and have taken all that stress and anxiety and transferred it onto their kids.
It's definitely like being in some weird sorority. I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest.
I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.
Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.
It's so easy in these cabaret venues to get earnest.
I was inspired more by early Bette Midler. I do wear a fancy dress and very high heels - and extra high hair. My goal is to obliterate all earnestness.
I've always lived in a city. I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.
I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest. The experience of working there is something of a battleground, a great one, but complicated. I think there's a deep connection for having survived that workplace.
