I really, really like interior design. I grew up in a really old house outside of Philly that was built in 1821. My mom is really into antiques, and my dad is very mid-century. They're not together anymore, so in the middle of growing up, I, all of the sudden, had two houses that were very different but really well done in each of their own ways.

I love comedy, but I was just obsessed with 'SNL' growing up.

Female-driven shows have to be every single thing and are constantly criticized in a way that male-driven shows are not.

Why does 'writer' have no gender, but 'actor' has a gender? What is that?

I'm just an actor. If it's drama, I add as much humour as the part will stand. And if it's a comedy, add as much drama as you can, so it balances out; you don't wanna be too serious.

I find that comedy is my specialty, but drama is slowly starting to move up in that rank. I've always liked playing a character that has depth and that I'm able to bring my own niche to.

Suspense is very important. Even though this is humor and they're short stories, that theory of building suspense is still there.

I was doing comedy in laundry mats in 1992, literally where I would bring a little gorilla amp and a lapel mike and just start performing.
