Zitat des Tages von Lauren Lapkus:
I think I was always a class clown growing up and a funny kid. I never really knew how to channel that until I got into high school.
I'm more of a tomboy - I fall into the jeans-and-a-T-shirt style, for sure - but I have a girlie side to me.
For me, what really excites me about my characters and what pushes their core is the kind of dark, sad side of life.
The secret to podcast success is sticking with it and making it fun for yourself.
Comedy is my first love; that's my main goal in life - to keep doing comedy.
I was invited to do an all-female improv festival in Portland called All Jane, No Dick. The person running it asked me if I had a female improv team, and I just said yes and then figured out who I would want to bring with me. We had such a fun show together that we decided that we should keep doing it.
You can't really get as much done when you're worried about looking gross.
Doing improv really got me started in my whole career.
I love watching 'The Real Housewives of New York.' That's my guilty pleasure. But I don't even feel guilty. I can just watch it, zone out, and forget about my problems.
I've done 70 different characters on my podcast. But in terms of characters that I revisit a lot, I think there are 10 that I know more in-depth.
I had always done broader characters, but going to UCB and speaking to my own voice was important for auditioning for TV and film.
I feel like that would be pretty strange to meet a voice actor as a kid.
I definitely get inspired by people who are disgusting on some level.
When I was growing up, I watched every sitcom imaginable.
I love the mall, and I love Howard Stern and Oprah.
The audition process for 'Are You There, Chelsea?' was overwhelming and exciting. It was my first pilot season and one of the first pilots I auditioned for.
I live for watching TV and partying with my book club.
I often play characters on TV shows that are more sweet and naive and just kind of puppy-dog eyes, and I don't think I am like that as a person.
Getting to be the 'weird roommate' on a sitcom was a dream come true.
A lot of my characters are born out of a small grain in a person that I heighten and take to that next level. They're not based on anyone I've ever met, but they are these extreme versions of something.
I love L.A. and feel attached to this city, but I don't identify myself as being a part of it.
