I always wanted to do a comedy, but I wanted to pick the right one. But it came down to working with Steve Carell. I've wanted to work with him since I met him years ago as a kid.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It's great working with Steve Carell and Jim Carrey. Those guys are really funny.
When I was a kid, I was a fan of comedy. I always loved Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Bill Murray, and Dave Letterman - not an actor, obviously, but I'm still impressed by his wit. I wanted to emulate them because they made me laugh.
I always loved working in comedy.
I worked in accounting for two and a half years, realized that wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and decided I was just going to give comedy a try.
I grew up wanting to make movies, and along the way I suddenly found that I had a career doing comedy.
Although I had a good job as an advertising manager for a shoe company in Boston, I really liked to fool around with comedy.
I'm a huge fan of Steve Martin. He's hilarious, but he has this depth to him and this way of dealing with the difficult things in life with a sense of humor that I think has helped me as an actress.
There's a lot of very funny people I'd love to work with that I've never met, of course. I love Steve Martin and Jim Carrey.
I love Steve Carell.
I've done comedy most of my career, which I love, but I wanted to expand.
