People have always told me a lot that I remind them of Joyce DeWitt.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Molly Shannon, for example, is someone I've always really looked up to, because her comedy is so physical and wild and unembarrassed and brave.
I like characters who remind me of someone I know.
I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I've inspired them.
I had been very close to Anne Bancroft when we worked together in The Miracle Worker.
Recently I heard Sheryl Crow and I loved her, she was terrific.
Joyce is a poet and also an elephantine pedant.
When they thought of me, they always remembered the vacuous Billie Dawn. It was as simple as that.
People always think I'm Amy Poehler, which never bothers me. I mean, Amy Poehler is great.
My twin in the show is Molly Stanton who is so sweet and great and she is totally different from me.
I don't talk about Amy Winehouse as a 'singer.' She's a pioneer. I listened to her endlessly when I started writing.
