I shop almost exclusively online, from brands like Eloquii, ASOS, Elizabeth Suzann, or Rachel Comey, if one of their straight-size pieces has a little extra room.
I've never shown up to the set of 'SNL' or 'Girls' without having a million options for me to try on. They don't bat an eye at my body or how to dress me because they dress all kinds of bodies as costumers.
I have no time for being embarrassed.
I am young, and I am cool, and I want to wear cool clothes!
When I was hired to 'SNL,' I was 25 years old.
I'm not big on fuzzy or fleecy slippers. I just don't like the texture and the heat. It just gets to be too much.
I was a religious 'SNL' watcher all through middle school. I was obsessed with Molly Shannon, Ana Gasteyer, Cheri Oteri - they were on right when I found the show. Then I started watching the older episodes, and it just totally blew my mind that my dream show already existed.
There's no conversation happening between plus-size women and designers. The door is never open.
I know seeing bigger women looking great would have mattered to me when I was younger - that's why I try not to wear a black dress every day.
Every morning when I wake up, I listen to 'The Brian Lehrer Show' on WNYC.
It's really fun to play someone with no filter but who is also really good at what she does.
Shooting in Japan was one of the best working experiences of my entire life.
I think it's a different experience for plus-size women in film and television to get clothes for events. It's just not as welcoming for us to get cool clothes that are, like, equal in glamour, in style, to what, I am going to say, 'small size' co-stars get to wear.
I want to feel like I can dance or party all night and not be worried about people stepping on my dress.
I did theater summer camps when I was a kid, and I enjoyed them, but they never felt quite right. But then there would always be a tiny improv workshop towards the end of camp, and I would always feel like I liked it so much better.
I'll do very light, very easy yoga in my dressing room. I like to just lay down on the floor and put my legs on the wall and stretch and just be still.
I just want to be myself, and I really, like, can't say I'm sorry for it. I just can't.
I don't take well to rules.
I'm pretty confident, I guess I would say.
I like to play characters that have an inner confidence about them that maybe you wouldn't expect them to have and that they aren't afraid to unleash occasionally.
