Perfectionism is really a challenge for me, and it causes me to be super-critical of myself in so many ways: about body image constantly; about parenting; about being a mother.

I feel very grateful that I have never had to be or ever chosen to be or accidentally found myself to be in the space of the other woman.

If you don't like me, don't turn your television on at the holidays, because you won't be able to escape.

I think that we are so challenged as women to be everything and do everything and make it look easy.

Comedy can do so much more than make you laugh.

I didn't set out to write some female-empowering movie; I just wanted to write a funny college comedy.

I'm really drawn to comedy. I grew up in the South, so I'm drawn to all things southern, so my role in 'Getting On' has been fun for me to play something southern - I always feel like I understand those characters more because of where I was raised.

I went to NYU drama school, so I was a very serious actress. I used to do monologues with a Southern accent, and I was really into drama and drama school. And then, in my last year of drama school, I did a comedy show, and the show became a big hit on campus.
