Quote

My acting has always been in the world of comedy, but in my writing, other than writing sketches, I really am drawn to the balance between comedy and drama. I like things that sort of toe that line of one minute you're in this emotional space and then all of the sudden something happens.

Comedy will always be central to what I do, it's just an instinct for me, but I am a writer and always have been.

I think that in any role you have, whether TV or film, it's hard to do comedy and drama within one story.

As for doing more dramatic work over comedy, I do whatever turns me on at the moment.

I know so many people who are so much better at it than I am, and I think I'm a goofier person rather than a serious, dramatic actress, so I probably belong in comedy.

A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.

I feel like I work on scripts for comedy as well as dramatic stuff the same.

Once I moved to Chicago and started trying to get acting jobs, I just tended to book more things that were comedically based than anything else. I never had the preconceived notion, 'I will be a comedic actor.' I just thought, 'I'll go into acting and see what kind of work I can get.'
