I am honored to continue the fight for equal economic opportunities, the right to choose, and an end to gender-based violence by serving as an ACLU Celebrity Ambassador.

UCB has been compared to a cult and a pyramid scheme, and it's all that stuff.

I just followed the fun. I just followed the things I was really interested in, and it turned out to be what I needed to do.

I would love to be a villain.

I just love movies where they blow stuff up, in your face, and it's so excited and cool.

I was late to the game on D.R.A.M.; I knew of 'Cha Cha,' but then I saw his Tiny Desk Concert, and I was hooked. I love how happy he is.

When I moved to New York, I didn't know how much improv and comedy would play into my life. I thought I was going to do theater and Broadway and stuff.

There's such a rich history in 'SNL' of political humor, and I think audience members expect that from us.

I wasn't picked for the improv group in college - not because I wasn't good, but because I was told I didn't fit the group, didn't gel with their dynamic.

It's so wonderful that women continue to break down barriers and change societal expectations, but women still suffer discrimination for their gender, class, and race.

I eventually moved to New York with just a couple unpaid internships. Meeting people and going to go the Upright Citizens Brigade, I was able to get a lot of connections, find some odd jobs, and be taken more seriously.

Our work should be a reflection of society, and if you're not concerned with including all of society, then I don't really know what you're doing making art in the first place.
