My idol is Bea Arthur. I really tried to follow her example. She is one of my comedy ‘she-roes.’

Do not let yourself get in your own way. Don’t judge yourself and knock yourself down. There is enough of that out there already. Remember: you are an artist, and you bring something special to...

Personally, I love theater; that’s where I started.

There’s something really cool about TV. TV, you get the luxury of having the same people around. It is such a blessing when you get a TV job. You really have a chance to get...

Working out should be a key part of your life but not your whole life. When it is all a man could talk about, it becomes too much.

I love a man with stubble. It’s very sexy.

I am not gonna say that a guy’s looks make him have to try harder in any way. I don’t believe that at all. I think if he is funny, smart and cool, he’s all...

I think I have lived in every part of L.A. except downtown. Everywhere from Topanga Canyon to Toluca Lake.

I love the Warner Brothers lot. There is so much history there. They’ve done such a smart thing. They have signs outside of each stage which tell you what movies and TV shows were shot...

I feel really proud of my work on ‘Sullivan & Son.’ It’s a really different character for me. I was excited to play this really tough, sweet smart, quirky girl because that’s who I am...

On the day of the audition for ‘Sullivan and Son,’ I had three other auditions all around Los Angeles. It was so hectic. I remember changing in my car before I went in to read.

I love watching old sitcoms. It’s very inspiring to watch ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ and ‘Golden Girls.’ I have watched them over and over again for years.

I like a man with some extra padding.

I started in high school and regional theater. Anything that came into town, I wanted to be involved in, because I just wanted to learn.

I would recommend going out for more independent films. You can get bigger roles and really work your acting chops and build a reel.

If I could kidnap Bryan Doyle-Murray and force him to be in my family, I would. I love him; I really do.
