My parents were very supportive when I was growing up and have been all the way through.

I've had moments of deep self-involvement that didn't come from a place of loving myself but quite the opposite.

I quit acting when I was 11 because I was cast as a bouncing ball in 'Alice in Wonderland,' and I felt slighted and wounded.

I am not a particularly political person, but, as a Tribeca resident, the commodification of September 11th is offensive to me.

Sometimes when I try to make jokes or have a sense of humor in interviews, it doesn't go over very well. But Twitter made my life easier in this way that I didn't expect. It would have taken probably 10 times as long for people to accept my voice and my sense of humor if I didn't have Twitter.

My thinking is lot more different with many actresses in the industry. I don't understand why people in showbiz put their profession of acting in the back seat after marriage.

The reason most comedies don't win awards is that the filmmakers put the comedy first. This means you have to create a story around the jokes.

I am really happy that even though I am stuck in the comedy genre I have not been typecast. I am still getting to experiment a lot with my characters, which is a boon.
