Before I did 'How I Met Your Mother,' I was not considered a comedic actress.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never thought I would be in a comedic role; my past is in drama.
I really fancied myself a comedic actress.
I was an actor before becoming a comedian.
My mother was an actress in comedies. My father wrote scenarios. They were not opposed to my being an actor. I really didn't know what it meant, but I wanted to be one anyway.
I was not a successful TV comedy writer.
My mother was against me being an actress - until I introduced her to Frank Sinatra.
My mom wasn't a movie star.
If my mother hadn't laughed at the funny things I did, I probably wouldn't be a comic actor. After she had her first heart attack, the doctor said, 'Try to make her laugh.' And that was the first time I tried to make anyone laugh.
People used to think of me as a comedy actor.
I'm an actor, I'm not a comedian, I never was a comedian.
