Ana Gasteyer Quotations

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

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.

I've done a ton of theater work and dramatic work, but nobody really knows me that way.

I'm so bad at spontaneous impressions.

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 not a standup, but I play one on TV.

I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

I've always lived in a city.

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.

It's definitely like being in some weird sorority. I'm friends with a lot of actresses, but my 'SNL' friends are my closest.
