• There is a lot of kissing in ‘Boeing-Boeing.’ A lot! And not pecks on the cheek or lips – although there’s some of that, too – but full-on, farcical lip locks. My poor husband. He definitely wasn’t prepared for as much smooching as there is.

• I’ve always done theater. I’ve never thought of myself as a comedic actress in any way. ‘Anchorman’ kind of cracked that open. When I got a small part in ‘Anchorman,’ I didn’t know it was possible on camera to improvise. So I was like, ‘What’s happening?’

• I don’t want to ever say to somebody, ‘You don’t have to see it. It’s not good.’ I’m done with that. I’d love to just do things that I respect. That being said, I do have two children to put through school, so we’ll see if I can put my money where my mouth is, but I would love to just work with people I respect.

• ‘Free Agents’ was an awesome experience. I never play the glam girl in anything, so that was a new experience. I would walk into one of my trailers and it would be like Spanx, a spray-tan gun, and chicken cutlets. I would have hair extensions. It was hilarious. Every day felt like I was turning into an awesome drag queen.

• Even the shows or movies that we know are not going to change the world, I love this. I love ’em. I’m a movie fan. I’m a nerd of any kind. I love a big studio comedy as much as I love the teeniest tiniest of indie. I’m not a snob in that way. I really do like a big, big studio comedy.

Everyone was funnier than the next. It was an amazing ensemble feeling. Everyone gave and took in the best way.
