I'm not much of a famous-person friend. I've hung out with Brooke Shields and I don't think I've ever seen that kind of pure face recognition, but I keep a low profile.

I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.

I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest. The experience of working there is something of a battleground, a great one, but complicated. I think there's a deep connection for having survived that workplace.

I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.

I'm not a standup, but I play one on TV.

I'm happier than I've ever been. SNL is one of the only places you can both act and create characters for a living.

Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.

I played Liddy Dole last year ...

I played Liddy Dole last year and met her as well. From the artful way she phrased it, I still don't know if she had actually seen me play her. She made it sound like it was good, but that's just a gift they have.

I'm married but the special man is my dog, Henry.

I like anything with a live audience. I love sitcom work. I hope it comes back in fashion because I really love it. I love single-camera work, too, but in a different way than that live-audience thing, which is really exciting.

It's fun to watch a true-blue movie star at work. They're really unbelievably charismatic. They understand camera angles...

There are different kinds of actors, and movie actors tend to be exceedingly precise and mechanical in a way that's really admirable for me to watch. You always learn from them.

Writers tend to hate recurring characters; there's this writer snob thing about it. But I don't have that. I feel like the challenge is always to find a cool and innovative way to do it and, obviously, to not repeat your jokes.

Ana Gasteyer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 27 quotes

I like playing the same person...

I like playing the same person over and over again. I've done shows for over a year on Broadway, and I never get bored.

Ana Gasteyer 03.03.2018 03:03:03 27 quotes

I actually like character work...

I actually like character work, so for me, generally speaking, I enjoy it. It's a little bit more of a comfortable suit you put back on. You can explore it and have fun with it and push the limits of it.

I always tried not to be too mean, but my problem is that the people I tend to find hilarious don't usually have senses of humor. So interacting with them is a little bit of an awkward engagement, because I can't really make them laugh, on top of which I've been doing an impression of them.
