Cleveland gets crapped on a lot.
You feel like you need to deal with a lot if you're from Cleveland, so you learn to let things roll off your back, and you learn that humor is the best way to deal with it.
I usually meditate twice a day: Transcendental Meditation.
The longer you're on a show like 'SNL,' the less frequent the Google alerts become.
There always have been funny women.
Being sick is the reason I went into comedy.
Every sketch goes through a rewrite stage where a group of writers sits around a table and pitches more jokes and ideas for the piece.
That was a huge part of my training, doing improv in Chicago.
I had been on this improv team at this really great improv theater. It's called iO now. It used to be called Improv Olympic. They have showcases for Lorne Michaels and other writers and people who work at 'SNL' usually about once a year, although I don't know if it always happens.
My dad is a really funny guy, and we would make jokes about my leukemia. When my friends would come over, we would joke about it, too.
It's totally my dream job. I grew up watching 'Saturday Night Live.' We'd watch it at sleepover parties and quote it.
To be honest, I don't even exactly know how to set up a Google alert. My brother has me on Google alert. So do my parents. But I'm not even sure how it works.
As a child or young adult going through an illness, it can be stressful at times and boring and extremely alienating.
I'm not totally sure what I want to be doing, but it's so fun to be on 'SNL' because you get exposed to so many different people and so many different experiences. It's a cool, lucky way to break into the business.
There are just so many funny kids and teenagers. They're just not aware of how funny they are.
I've been watching a lot of A&E's 'Intervention.' I know that's sort of depressing, but I love watching it.
The town I grew up in was at least fifty percent Jewish, so every weekend in the 7th grade, we went to Bar and Bat Mitzvahs.
It's so funny: at 'SNL,' Bill Hader always kind of treated me like his little sister and would kind of, like, lovingly bully me.
I do think that the audience thinks it's funny when you break, but if you do it all the time, it loses something.
With 'Trainwreck,' because it wasn't live and we could do more takes, I feel like we broke a lot.
