Michaela Watkins Quotations

I realize I love crazy ladies. Of course I don't like to think of myself as one, but maybe I am, too. I dunno. I'm always drawn to them; I think it's because I'm attracted to people who aren't in the business of people-pleasing: saying what they really think, not passive-aggressive at all.

It was weird that most people knew me as someone let go from 'SNL.' I had the best time there, and in retrospect, it was the perfect amount of time. The only thing that matters is what you do with yourself in that moment after. If you decide, 'I'm the girl who was fired from 'SNL,' you're just that.

What's fun now is that I have a show at USA that I co-wrote called 'Benched.' I'm completely behind the scenes and not the actor at all.

As far as celebrity, people don't stop me on the street and know who I am. It's more like, 'Doesn't she remind you of so-and-so's ex-girlfriend?' It's always somebody's ex-girlfriend. Somebody ex-girlfriend who's 'crazy.'

I get to do physical comedy! When do women get to do physical comedy? Very rarely.

I do think non-linearly. So I think that comes off as nervousness or anxiety in a person.

When I got Trophy Wife, the first fear is, This could go away; the second is, Its here and I love it; I hope it gets a second season.

I do like to play people I wouldnt want to spend five minutes in a room with.

I just want to make people laugh, and I want to do that the best way possible.

SNL was a dream come true for me. It was a fantastic year. I dont have any regrets.
