It's nice to be able to explore both sides of my personality. I definitely relate more to Debbie, my character on The Grinder. But it's really nice because I get to play a character who's down on her luck and kinda slipping off the edge in It's Always Sunny, while at the same time getting to play this character who's a mom and holding it together on The Grinder.

Topics: Mom, Nice, Character, Always Sunny, Grinder

We all have to hold each other accountable and point that behavior out to each other in a kind way. I guess what I'm saying is just having women behind the scenes isn't enough, we also have to be aware of what we're saying about ourselves.

Getting to play a yogic healer was awesome. I love yoga, so I've had a lot of teachers.

My personal sense of humor is edgy, I would say more cable-like: words you're not allowed to say, ideas that the majority of people might say, "That's too risqué for me."

Topics: Ideas, People, Majority, Edgy

I don't think that I would go into the writers' room because they work really hard and I feel like I'm already working really hard to shoot my part of the show. Also, I haven't written in a writers' room before, it's kinda intimidating to walk in there.

Topics: Thinking, Rooms, Intimidating, Working Really Hard

I also think it's still easy for us - as women, as writers and as directors and producers - to let it fall into the same patterns. Like, "and then the woman brings in the food, because the woman's the one who makes food." It's easy for that to happen, because that's what we've always known.

Topics: Fall, Thinking, Directors

I think having women behind the cameras is exciting - whether it's as a director or a writer or a producer - because it does feel like we're in the middle of this awakening of realizing that it's important for women to have a voice.

Topics: Thinking, Voice, Important

I've been doing It's Aways Sunny for 12 years, and so I have this cable sensibility. When I read the Grinder script, I was like "this is edgy," which is great, but in a different way from Arrested Development. I feel like the characters are a little more relatable, so maybe that's the difference.

Topics: Character, Years, Differences, Grinder

It's nice to always have a job and not be floating out in the ether waiting for whatever the next big thing is. So, in that way I hope there's no a shelf-life for great shows. On the other hand, you don't want to be working on something that's reached its peak and become irrelevant.

Topics: Jobs, Nice, Hands, Shelf Life

It's fun to be debaucherous and the worst version of yourself.

Topics: Fun, Worst, Versions

I have the weirdest job. The hair and makeup people were talking the other day about how weird their job is. And costumes, they have to be in people's faces and have to reach in their skirts to pull their shirts down and stuff. I was like, "You guys, I meet someone, I shake their hand, and then I kiss them. And sober. During midday. For money."

Topics: Jobs, Kissing, Makeup

I'm not good at reading reviews and things like that.

Topics: Reading, Reviews

I'm not good at going on the internet and trolling around and finding information.

Topics: Information, Internet, Findings

A few months post-baby is not the easiest time to pull out your best yoga poses.

Topics: Baby, Yoga, Months

People still tweet me like, "Oh my god, I just found out you guys are married!" Which makes sense to me because I'm not the type of person who is like, "I love this actor, let me find out everything about their lives."

Topics: People, Guy, Actors
