I went to college at University of Tennessee.

I was always a total ham, but my dad really taught me that.

I've always felt, even with sketches, that if you don't care about these people, then it doesn't matter.

When I finally finished writing 'Sisters,' I started getting hired for lots of rewrites.

My specialty at 'SNL' was doing triage. There was always a great need for someone to say, 'Make this funnier. Give me an ending for this. What's a better big laugh for this towards the end? What's a better physical joke in this?' And I just really, over time, honed that specific thing so well.

It was really fun to start writing movies because you could actually take characters whose voice you enjoy writing in and have actual things happen to them for more than five minutes. It was really fun to thread it together.

I've got my foot in 'Saturday Night Live,' and my heart is there in a lot of ways, but I'm really pushing myself to do these new projects. It's scary as hell, but it's fun to have other things to keep my creative brain cooking.

All the women I've grown up with at 'SNL' and other areas, and even the women that work with Judd Apatow, all those women are powerful, assertive women that have great material, and they just produce themselves.

I think women are taking charge of the origins of a production, which is the most important part. Because you can't be a victim of whatever people ask you to do.

It takes a special kind of family to bathe together in their 40s.
