I Just Want To Keep

When I Was In High School I Was A Really Huge 'snl' Fan. I Remember The Cast Around The Time I Started Watching It - Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, Cheri O'teri, Tracy Morgan. I Did Research To Find Out How People Got On The Show. Their Bios Always Said They Came From An Improv Team, So I Started Taking Classes.

When I Was Doing Comedy In New York, Before I Was In Movies, I Was Never Known As The Deadpan Actress. I Was Just A Comedienne.

When You Improvise, You Work Off The Laughs From The Audience, But When You Step On Stage To Do Standup, It's Silent.

Once You Do A Character In Hollywood And People Haven't Seen You Before, They Put You In A Box And They Think That's All That You Can Do And It's Hard To Get People To Take A Risk On You.

I Just Want To Keep Finding Special Characters That I Feel Like I Can Bring To Life And Characters That Are Real And Not Superficial.
