I never noticed my voice. I did become aware as a little kid at camp that I liked doing accents. We'd do plays and skits, and I realized I loved speaking in voices that weren't my own.

It makes a lot of sense to me that I would be a cartoon. I feel like a cartoon as a person. I really, really do.

When I was growing up, I was so fascinated by Mel Blanc and all of the different voices that he did for 'Looney Tunes' and watching Robin Williams record voice-over for the genie in 'Aladdin.' It always seemed to be a major honor - something you have to earn. Like people trust you when they want to have you there without seeing you.

It's not good for me to see things while they're being edited. I can be highly critical, so I try to stay away.

I've called myself an accidental activist because I came to it not on purpose.

The experience of the human, male or female, cannot be completely defined by one startling, surprising, or gigantic life experience.

I always loved to sing and was very, very loud. I wanted to be a movie star, like Judy Garland.

I was a teenager in '95, so I didn't dress like a woman then. I was really small. I remember wishing I wasn't wearing Gap Kids.

I'm tired of someone being called 'quirky' because they tripped or got a stain on their shirt. It's like a beautiful blonde lady who's quirky because she has bedhead, or she's quirky because she sometimes says the wrong, cute thing. I like it when women are quirky as human beings.

I think that, unfortunately, people who are maybe threatened by feminism think that it's about setting your bra on fire and being aggressive, and I think that's really wrong and really dangerous.

I don't like taking physical risks at all. I take a lot of emotional risks, and I don't feel like I need to get on a bike or a horse or jump off of anything ever.

I fidget and change my outfit a lot. It's really a way of keeping myself comfortable.

I had some friends that went to this hypnotist to stop smoking, and I kind of love things that seem magical. And I liked that it was in Santa Monica, and I had to go near the ocean to get my brain washed out or whatever. So I went there. And I went on a Thursday, and I got hypnotized.

I feel nervous when the script is set in stone, and I feel nervous when I feel the script is written for mass consumption because I don't see myself that way.

I sometimes think my earnestness is confused for stupidity, but it shouldn't be.

I like any film where the female characters are complex and have a functioning imperfection.

A woman who is not ready to have a baby making it work is not a happy ending to me. It's a personal nightmare.

I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.

I just want to be able to be creative.

I really like to cook and have dinner parties and I like to clean, it really clears my head and it makes me feel good to keep my home as a comfortable place.

I want to write a studio movie, but probably one that's for me to be in.

I didn't hit puberty until I was, like, 17, so I love to talk about that.

I think of my gender as a part of my complex humanity.

I like dressing like I'm going on a date when I'm on stage.

There is something to grace and deportment, but you determine that for yourself. That's something you own.

I got great sex education, and I always knew that if I wanted to be sexually active, I had to have safe sex.

A lot of people think that I'm one of the women from 'Broad City' - and I'm just not.

It looks like I'm just gonna keep getting really, really happy and sad and embarrassed and excited and disappointed for the rest of my life, so let's just do that.

I waited my whole life to be a woman, so now my clothes are fairly tight.

I have things I say over and over again, for sure, but I've never wanted to make an album or really go on the road. I don't want any traction. I just want to be able to express myself and to feel love.

I think, from a really early age, I just wanted to be an actress. And I ended up doing comedy because it was the thing that kind of, like, came out of my nature the most easily. But, I've always wanted to do as many different kinds of performances - whatever I could.

It was so quick for me on 'SNL.' It's not something I consider to be, like, one of the big spaces in my career.

I like to wear dresses and skirts when I go onstage because the attitude that I have is, 'I'm so excited to introduce myself to you.' And I want to be wearing what I'd be wearing to a date or a dinner party.

Don't think twice. If it's a character that you feel compelled to play and story that you feel needs to be told, don't think twice.

I would go so far as to say I would not have the life that I have right now if it wasn't for Gabe Liedman. He is the first person I met in my adulthood that I felt was truly delighted by me and understood me and also was curious about me.

For some reason, I never watched Lifetime but just discovered it. I was like, 'Oh, it's all rom-coms!'

That time when you're waiting for a job can be the most impactful and important time because you develop your preferences as a person. Knowing what you like will make you more confident. And then you'll stand out.

I feel I have to be totally cemented in my position, all: 'You can't tell me what to do with my body', but there is another part of me that is, you know, myself: vulnerable, with lots of doubts.

People want to see comedies where characters aren't sacrificed for the jokes.

I couldn't wait to be an adult woman, and I'm glad I felt that way as a kid because, when I grew up, I realised I live in a world where the female form is really disrespected, and society is often trying to wrestle the female form into a shape that looks more like a young boy.

I think sometimes in comedy the characters are often sacrificed for the joke, and it's more important for it to be funny than for there to be love.

Comedy can be a little brutal, but not in a satisfying way.

I think my friends would say I'm pretty goal-focused but whimsical.

I tend to be really spacey, but I don't think it's because I'm unintelligent - it's just my imagination and a little bit of ADD.

I don't know exactly what's next. But I do know now that it's something rather than nothing.

I have a big thing about needing to know that I belong - in my group of friends, in my family, in my industry.

I wanted to be in New York because I wanted to be on 'SNL.' I spent a lot of time wanting to be on 'Saturday Night Live' as a kid. That's what I wanted.

It's 2014, and the fact that anybody has to fight for the right to do what they want to do with their body in a safe and responsible way is infuriating.

I grew up idolizing Madeline Kahn and Lily Tomlin and Carol Burnett, Ruth Gordon, Rosalind Russell, Amy Irving, women who were stylish and real actresses who did real work and could not be replaced with anyone else. You cannot cast anyone else in Madeline Kahn's roles.

It's important to say women are complex.
