Not to be negative, but I think the biggest lesson is don't trust anyone.

I think one of the bigger issues with modern-day people is that we don't give enough credit to people from history as being real. We almost treat them as these rarified beings that didn't exist the way that we do with emotions and urges and drives.

For us, when we think about the Middle Ages, it's sort of this rarefied, distant time that we have no connection to, especially if you grew up in America.

I don't think it's good for anyone to be in the public light - for negative reasons.

I think for anyone - male or female - in improv, the biggest thing to get over is the fear. I think every improviser has that.

I remember when I was in film school. It was my second year, and some kid did - had this really over-religious symbolism; like, it said 'John 3:16' and had angels falling over, and it was just this insane - it wasn't that great.
