No one knows who the real me is, so I can be a hundred different kinds of me.

I probably shouldn't say this about all animals, but at least the farm animals that I've hung out with, and even when I go to the zoo usually, they're like a blank slate. I guess that's why I like them. They're puppets, and you can imagine them being anything you want.

My parents are pretty religious, devout, but did they force it on me? No, I don't think so. I still think of myself as a Lutheran, just one who doesn't go to church.

In the U.K., there's absolutely no money for television. So you can do pretty much whatever you want. They're not losing money on any of the shows, so they'll give you a lot of creative freedom. In the United States, there are millions and millions of dollars at stake, so they need a sure formula.

In high school, I was doing a skit for forensics and people started laughing, more than I was prepared to deal with. It was a surprise.

I think growing up on a farm in a certain amount of isolation, with not a lot of friends nearby, makes you entertain yourself and kind of grows your imagination - being alone is quite good for all that. You make up stories, talk to the animals, let them be an audience, a bunch of cows.

'Rock of Love' with Bret Michaels was fun. He's a lovable guy.

I thought I would either be an epidemiologist or a 'Price Is Right' model.

Sometimes I try to sell shows with a female lead to networks, and that isn't something that's been a proven formula for them, so they reject it. I do feel like men get the funniest roles in movies.

I think I've always had a disconnect from what I'm supposed to be like.

I would like to be known as someone who was really sweet but also knowledgeable in all areas of life.

I would be an actress for the rest of my life just because it's really relaxing. Writing is hard work, and stand-up is so stressful before you get on stage, but acting is a complete ensemble experience.

I'm not really a control person, and I'm a big believer in collaboration. I like to have a friend.

My style can't be held within a pixel medium. Like, it needs to be performed in a living, breathing space. People need to have all their senses ready to take on my comedy, and unfortunately, TV alienates at least their sense of touch, taste, smell.

I definitely had a Paul Rudd crush. He's great.

I loved 'Burning Love,' and I really do love almost everything Paul Scheer touches.

I don't enjoy reality television at all. I have to say that I get it, though. I watch some of it, and I understand why people enjoy it.

I love the idea that I have the power to look for the projects I can put myself into, but I'm still at that level of just being happy to have a job.

I've been lucky. The projects I've gotten to work on are projects I'd want to watch myself. That's what I try to shoot for.
