My dad would write these sketches for me while I was at 'SNL.'
I know this is a weird niche, but a lot of my female friends have these strange stories where there their dads have seen the small successes of their daughters and have decided that they are creative as well.
My dad always said that 90 percent of marital problems could be solved by getting your blood sugar up, and he's right! So I would say pick a partner who's forgiving when you have low blood sugar and threaten to drive your car through your shared home.
I've started meditating, but I do have a quick temper.
Especially with Facebook and Instagram and Twitter, I can't tell necessarily the nitty gritty of what you're really up to. I'm just seeing the performance of all the work you're doing and the look you're giving; it's very hard to get to the center. It's very hard to see what's what.
Even before I got on 'SNL' I assumed I would do some type of sitcom; I kind of thought that was how I would start. I don't mean to sound arrogant - I just thought I would be best suited to the form.
There's a creative freedom with being under the radar. But I guess if you're too under the radar, you get canceled?
Both my parents were working in politics when I was growing up, so going on stage was not that great a leap.
I've met architects before, and they're not living the life we see on TV.
Somewhere along the way, I think I realised that taking yourself seriously is the worst thing that you can do in life, so once I let that go, I've just let it all go. I have no standard of personal dignity.
The alternative comedy scene is actually pretty small, I guess.
So many shows don't have laugh tracks now that, when you hear it, it can be slightly jarring.
My goal is to generate more material for myself.
When you move to New York, especially, you feel like you need to be something.
