Every Once In A While I Play

You Know, Women In Hollywood, We Don't Get Action Franchises And Superheroes. The Rom-coms That Made Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, And Reese Witherspoon Stars Are Out Of Favor Right Now- Nobody Is Making Them. In This Business, If You Are An Ambitious Person, You Don't Wait For People To Hand You Opportunities. You Have To Make A Way For Yourself.

Being A Creative Person Is A Really Personal Process So There Is No One-size-fits-all Advice, That's Kind Of The First Thing I'd Say. Because Everybody's Goals Are Different. Everybody's Talents Are Different. Some Women That I'm Talking To Want To Create A Television Show. Some Women Want To Be A Director. They Want To Use Comedy In Different Ways, And I Find That Really Fascinating. The Main Thing I Would Say Is, Start! Just Do It. Keep Going. When People Come At You With The Negativity And The Nos, You've Got To Ignore It. Push Through.

I'm Perfectly Happy To Have The Reputation As A Comedian. I Love Comedies, I Would Love To Be Doing More Comedies. But I Also Feel Like I Hit The Limit On Playing The Girlfriend Type In A Lot Of Rom-coms That Aren't Actually Rom-coms, But Guy Movies That Happen To Have Girls In Them.

I'm Sort Of The Bossiest Sister.

You Don't Realize How Easy One Is Until You Have Two. Now I'm Really A Mom. Oh, I Am A Mom Now! This Is For Serious — I Am Responsible For Two People Now.
