I didn't have that typical high school experience of feeling ashamed of who I was. I once wore a superman cape and pajamas, and I thought that was awesome - and some people didn't! But some people did, and it was an arts high school, so nobody made me feel bad about who I was.

I feel like everything will be a letdown after 'You're The Worst.' It was such a great experience.

In school I really loved Shakespeare, and I participated in a country-wide Shakespeare competition.

What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.

I think it's very hard to go into the same business as your family when you're an artist.

Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.

If I had a child and she was a girl, I'd hope she'd do something different from me.

There's innate competition, I think, between mothers and daughters - mine no more so than anyone else.

There are problems everywhere, of course, but you can only see those certain problems when you reach a certain level. So I try to think of those problems as, "This is a sign that I'm having success, that I'm also having issues with this."

Both of my parents were incredibly supportive of me being in any arts, because they were both in the arts. They weren't the typical story of, "Oh, get a real job. You need to make money." They basically said, "Yup, be an artist. You'll be broke your whole life but you'll be happy."
