I like to write and draw and paint, and my mom's an artist, so I think I get caught up in thinking, 'I'm afraid it's gonna be bad,' and it's hard for me to start sometimes.

I probably lived more of a rock-star life when I was 15. I got in trouble a fair amount. I cared more about hanging out and skipping school than studying.

I roller skated when I was younger, but when you're on a track that's slanted and you're with other people all skating in a pack, it's a whole different sport.

I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.

It sounds so cheesy, but there's something very powerful about looking in the mirror and asking yourself a question. Because I think it's really hard to lie.

People always call me a comedian. And I don't really see myself like that. I guess I just consider myself an actor who does comedy. But who wants to do other things as well.

People sometimes get a little extra criticism when they try something that they don't normally do, but I think that's just a natural thing for artists. It's like, 'Okay, I did that, and now I want to try this.'

The good thing about 'SNL' is that it's the same people every week that you're working with, and we've all become so close and tight because we've worked together so long and so closely together.

There are so many funny women in the world, and there has been for so many years, so I'll be happy when people can just move on from that, and things can just be 'comedies' and not 'female' or 'male,' and everyone gets an equal opportunity.

I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you're like, 'What's wrong with me?'

If you're creating anything at all, it's really dangerous to care about what people think.

At parties, I'll start talking and notice everyone is looking at me and feel dumb and say, 'Forget it,' and then start eating things.

I love the rain. It's my favorite weather.

It's a mystery to me what makes people laugh.

When you go out of your comfort zone and it works there's nothing more satisfying.

With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

I don't know about the romantic comedy route, although never say never.

I wish I had a lot of tattoos.

Sometimes I need to blow off steam and go dance really hard.

Even in this day and age, if you're not married, there are people who are like, 'Awww! Don't worry, it'll happen for you someday.'

For movies to get greenlit solely based on the success of other movies that have a lot of women in them? It's so ridiculous to me.

I always say I want to look haunted.

I am shyer than most people think.

I do sort of gravitate towards smaller, indie-type movies.

I don't always just want to do the same thing.

I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.

I enjoy being characters rather than myself.

I feel like women are asked their age more than men.

I hated speaking in public. I would miss school just so I wouldn't have to do it.

I just like to walk around New York, just put my iPod on and walk around.

I just want to try and be in projects that are exciting to me.

I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York.
