On what makes her nervous:
“A still camera – you know, just being myself. What am I supposed to do? Left to my own devices I look like this [she makes an insane frozen Cheshire cat grin], like the worst grade school photo ever. It’s so much easier for me to play a character.”

On how she got into comedy:
“It wasn’t exactly my goal. One day Brian and I were standing in line at the grocery store and he saw an ad in the Village Voice for an open mic at a comedy club and said, ‘You’re going to do standup.’”

On meeting her husband:
“Ben and I have been married seven years, but together for 12. He was one of my best friends. When we were at the Groundlings we’d all go out after a show and have a couple of beers. When other people would start to leave Ben and I would stay saying, ‘I’m going to have just one more beer.’ It was like we risked becoming raging alcoholics just to finally be like, ‘I really like you.’”
