I've Never Been In A Writer's Room.

I Think I'm A Natural Appreciator Of Comedy. I Was Definitely Not The Girl In Junior High That All The Guys Wanted To Date. They Wanted To Date My Friends - Which Was Great, Because I Had To Be Funny.

I'm Lucky Because I Have So Many Clashing Cultural, Racial Things Going On: Black, Jewish, Irish, Portuguese, Cherokee. I Can Float And Be Part Of Any Community I Want. The Thing Is, I Do Identify With Being Black, And If People Don't Identify Me That Way That's Their Issue. I’m Happy To Challenge People's Understanding Of What It Looks Like To Be Biracial, Because Guess What? In The Next 50 Years, People Will Start Looking More And More Like Me.

I Did A Lot Of Theater In School. I Thought Maybe I Wanted To Go To Law School Or Be A Judge Or A Politician. And Then I Just Kind Of Got Smitten By The Process Of Rehearsal And Working With Other Actors And Those Kinds Of Challenges. And Then Comedy.

I'm Friends With A Lot Of My Exes, But It Took Time. We Didn't Just Get Into It. I Don't Think You Can Be Friends Until You're Cool With Them Dating Someone Else. That's When You Know.

I Totally Believe In Romance And Love And All That.
