It's very hard to fake. When you see Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig in 'Bridesmaids,' you can tell they really love each other.
I was so flat-chested in high school that I thought I'd better be funny if guys were going to like me.
A lot of comedy on television has a reserve to it, and it's a little too cool for school.
If you write for somebody that you know, then your job is so much easier.
The way that UCB taught us to improvise, you always start from an inspiration from your life, something that's happened to you or a friend. And then you put a comic game onto it. It always starts from a place of reality, of truth.
Even though Laverne and Shirley were always, like, submitting themselves for medical testing and falling asleep on a date or whatever, they always had each other's back.
I can't watch most movies because they scare me too much.
I'm so terrified to write that I don't type at all.
Darius Rucker is straight up the most charming, handsome man you have ever met in your entire life.
I think the medium of television is so great for women, especially right now, because I feel like with 'Broad City' and Amy Schumer and 'Girls', the creators are the stars, so their voice is totally pure.
For Lennon and me, we grew up with Laverne and Shirley or Lucy and Ethel. For us, those are our inspirations. And I think Amy Poehler and Tina Fey led the way for us to be fearless in the way we kept shoving our message and our comedy voice down people's throats until they listened.
Cancer doesn't just happen to me; it happens to my best friend; it happens to everyone who means something in my life... The truth is, it does take a village to take care of somebody who's sick, and so we just, at all times, tried to be authentic to the actual experience we had.
If I texted somebody that I was having a down day, in seconds I would have somebody either call me or show up at my door.
'Gilmore Girls' was a passion of mine, to the point where Lennon actually can't watch it because if she does, then we might be fully ripping them off.
'Downton Abbey'. I love all things olden-days, and I'm very interested in somebody brushing my hair out at the end of the night.
Shortly after I finished chemo, but during my 12 weeks of radiation, Lennon and I returned to work on the third season of the show we write, produce and star in, 'Playing House.'
We hope that by sharing my experience - our experience, Lennon and I - that somebody who is going through this process or helping their loved one through it might feel less alone, and might even have some better information for their cancer care.
In this business, you never really expect a second season of something.
The truth is that when Lennon is Bosephus, she is so mean to me. She can't smile because the mustache will come off. So in between takes, it's just scowling. And then when we are on camera, Bosephus treats me like a piece of meat. I'm repulsed and also attracted to it.
We're in this really different world of television where everybody is binge watching, and it almost doesn't matter where you're airing.
