The woman I'd want to meet the most is Nicole Holofcener. I've loved every single film she's done. I think her films are deeply comedic while being deeply disturbing and dark.
Frankly, 'Bride Wars' got made because movies with women need to be about weddings and love.
When you're on a road trip, anything goes.
You only feel as good as your last sketch.
On 'Saturday Night Live,' you wear so many hats there. You're the prop person, the actor, you're everything.
Pageants are already ridiculous and sad, I think.
All of my favorite actresses are comedians at heart: Shirley MacLaine and Madeline Kahn, Diane Keaton and Debra Winger. And they are all amazing dramatic actresses, but everything they do is funny.
Something that's good in the mini-culture of 'Happy Endings' is that the goal is to try and make each other laugh. There is a pretty high bar, and you want to make the writers laugh, and you want to elevate what's already great material - and also, we're like, 'Who is even watching this? Let's just go for it.'
The more money you spend, the more you need to make back, and the more pressure there is to appeal to everyone - which to the studio means that the specificity and uniqueness must be watered down. But I think mass audiences like things that are more specific and tend to have a voice, like 'Napoleon Dynamite' or 'Superbad.'
I think there's almost nothing that I won't, sadly, do for a laugh. It's a problem, actually.
Kenya Moore is everything to me. She's everything.
Jake Johnson is one of my oldest friends.
I actually do enjoy the Kardashians' show, and I know that other people do enjoy it, but at the same time, they want to make fun of it. Like, I know that girls are watching that show - I'm just the only one courageous enough to say it. Other people are courageous in acts of war, but I'm courageous in my love for the Kardashians.
My parents are both super funny, and I always knew I wanted to be on 'SNL.' My mom and I would watch it a lot.
