I'm not a stand-up comedian by any means, but I do think it's tougher for a woman to go to that territory because it does make people go, 'Aww,' instead of laughing.
From Sarah Baker
Every role I've ever taken has never had anything do to with size. It's never been something I've wanted to be cheap about. Luckily, my agents and managers have always supported that.
'Louie' is a beautiful show. I think it's art on television.
It's funny because, if you're not an actor, people always tend to say, 'How do you memorize all those lines? Is that really hard?' I'm always like, 'That's just a small part of it. I have to seek my craft and my emotions' - you know, all this gross, actor-y stuff.
Usually, somebody's size is not even in the top five things they would say about themselves. Because there's so much more going on than if they have blonde hair or are a size 12.
I don't know if you can ever steal a scene from Louis C.K. or Melissa McCarthy. I think that's kind of impossible.
It's been so nice for people to have a favorable reaction to what I've done. You work hard, and you try your best, and like anything in life, when people respond well to it, it's like, 'Well, good. I'm headed in the right direction here.' So it's been really, really nice.
