I did 10 years of comedies and 10 years of Westerns. I really like to stay away from car chases. I prefer the more intimate film. You have a much more direct association with the emotions.

The Westerns I like aren't really comedies. I'm drawn to the scope of them and the land as a central character.

I just like doing comedies, and think that my timing and love for the genre set me apart from other young women who look like me.

Even in college I tended to get cast in the comedies more. It was what I liked doing.

Unfortunately, I was making comedies in my 20s, but other people didn't realize they were comedies.

I watched Westerns from the time I was a girl. My dad was a big Western fan. I always loved Clint Eastwood movies and 'Westworld', where the guy gets trapped in a western-themed amusement park. The western motif was fascinating to me.

Westerns was why I got into the business. I grew up on a small farm in California and all I ever wanted to do was to play gangsters and cowboys in movies.

I prefer comedies when they come from a dark kind of place and have a reality to it.

I loved Westerns for different reasons as an adult. It is not only our only native brand of storytelling - the only one that's not influenced by Europeans and not something that's done better by the French - but I also love the sensuality of the Western. The sights, sounds, and smell of a Western are very exciting.

I've never done an actual Western, and I would love to do that. I've done drama and dark comedy stuff. I've never really done a romantic comedy either. I would do that.
