If I'm not in the theatre, I'm in an open mic night or doing a guest set at the Comedy Club, or whatever, just trying to develop stuff.

My background is in musical comedy. I didn't know I was going to be an actor. But all my points of reference have to do with musical comedy and in being kind of a showoff.

I am a wild orchid of comedy, so I can only do well under specific conditions... There are people who I think can do any room, and do stadiums and thousand-seat theaters, and then there are people like me who just perform for my parents.

Oh yeah, I'd love to be a comedian. I've done a lot, but always in the confines of plays.

I go where people are hurting. I stand on the stage, and I make people laugh for an hour and a half.

I suppose I'm going on stage and making jokes about the fact that the audience are expecting the show to be about something and that they might learn something.

I think comedy is so specific, so hard. I'd audition for comedies and think, 'I can't pull this off.'

There's nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There's nothing like being on a set where you are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That's the best job in the world.

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.

With comedy, you really want to work things out beforehand.
