When I moved to New York out of college, that was my goal. To be a stage actress. And to do dramatic works. Like 'Madea', and 'Night, Mother', and 'Sam Shepard', and all that kind of stuff. That's what I really wanted to do.

I wanted to go to New York and be a stage actress, doing things like Chekhov. None of that happened, and then I went to L.A. and an agent said, 'I think you belong in commercials and TV.' So I did that and got some opportunities that I absolutely love.

I moved to New York first and was really apprehensive about moving to L.A., but I really, really like it.

I sang a lot in college - I was in a choral group in college. But, then, when I moved to New York, I really just concentrated on acting.

I like a New York accent.

The entire New York comedy scene has moved to L.A. - it's bled the New York comedy scene dry.
