I have this really bad habit of doing things on the Internet and forgetting that the whole world is going to see it.

I always love the quirky stuff, which is why I love 'Childrens Hospital.' That really pushes the envelope of comedy.

I'd like to keep exploring comedy. I didn't necessarily think of myself as a comedic actress, but it's a lot of fun.

I like the Dodgers because my dad does - wait, no, not the Dodgers. Strike me down! The Yankees. I like the Yankees.

Actually, I do like pink clothes, but it's not because I'm girly, it's because I'm the reincarnation of Oscar Wilde.

For "The Intervention" I came up with a back-story and Clea [Duvall] was like, "No." And I was like, "I don't care."

As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh.

I think there are people who really love the comfort of their small town, and there are people who feel stuck by it.

Every single decision I make about what material I do, what I'm putting out in the world, is because of my children.
