Rachael Harris Quotations

I love doing sitcoms. I love doing comedy. I love the whole shooting match.

I grew up in a suburb of Ohio, in a small town, and I resonated with that small-town feeling where everybody knows your business.

I love Frances McDormand so much. I love her career. And I think it's fun because she gets to do comedy as well as drama.

I come from the place of thinking, 'Whatever works for people' - and if you haven't been exposed to anything else, you really don't know better.

I really wanted to do things that weren't comic. It felt like finding people who can see this other side to me.

I told my agents that I love Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand and all of these women that are good at doing comedies as well as dramas.

I'm a big fan of Samantha Bee's.

In my early 20s, I didn't even know what the Groundlings was. I had no idea. But I know how to break down a script and work on the character.

I told my agent which women I aspire to have a career like: Frances McDormand, Kate Winslet, Laura Linney and Emma Thompson - character actresses who have something to say. I also said that I loved Madeline Kahn and Jessica Lange.

See, that's the thing: I'm not one of those actors who thinks, 'God, I've got to improvise and make it my own.' No, my first job as an actor is to take what's written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I'll do that.
