Kristen Wiig

I just want to try and be in projects that are exciting to me.

I would rather have a small part in a really great movie than a big one in one that I'm not too psyched about.

I don't rehearse a lot. I try to keep it organic. Even in movies, the less I rehearse, the better I am.

I don't know if you can articulate an instinct.

With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

When you're on your deathbed, you probably aren't counting the movies you've made.

I don't always just want to do the same thing.

It's a mystery to me what makes people laugh.

I always say I want to look haunted.

Even in this day and age, if you're not married, there are people who are like, 'Awww! Don't worry, it'll happen for you someday.'

If I can be doing something in the arts till the day I die. I would be very, very happy.

It's fun for me to play people that are just kind of odd.

I never think if I do an impression of someone, I'm never making fun of them.

I think people like to see the lives of artists that are legends. They always go through the dark periods and I think just as humans we like to see that and them coming out of it. I love those kinds of movies.

My friends back home are very supportive.

The public doesn't want to hear people complaining about having their picture taken.

I wasn't rich.

I know from my own experience and from other people in the business that when you come from a place where nobody knew who you were and then there is this sudden shift to where everybody now knows who you are, there's an adjustment that you have to make.

I feel like women are asked their age more than men.

People always call me a comedian. And I don't really see myself like that. I guess I just consider myself an actor who does comedy. But who wants to do other things as well.
