Mary Lynn Rajskub quotes:

I'm doing stand-up comedy. I'm working on a one-woman show about how I don't like my baby. There is a period of time where a baby is born where the next 3 months is harrowing. A lot of people say it's the most wonderful time, but for me it was harrowing.

The really cool challenge of '24' was learning on camera how to be a dramatic actress. The biggest difficulty was the industry side of things. I was very lucky that I had Joel Surnow, one of the creators of '24,' in my corner. Early on, the Fox executives couldn't believe that I was on the show.

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.

I had fun doing a lot of low-budget movies and web series. And I got back into stand-up where I started.

I need to see where I am physically and practicing with NHL players is the best way to find that out.

I hadn't even watched '24' before, and the audition was kind of far away. When I got the material, there wasn't a character yet, so it almost seemed like an assistant to Jack Bauer saying, 'Yes, sir. No, sir.'

There is always the personal, simple happiness that doesn't happen.

I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.

I read a fan bulletin board once, and somebody said I had a face like a potato, so I never went back on there.

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

To really be on stage and not know what you're going to say, and to be able to say something that makes people laugh, or do something that's sort of abstract or off the beaten path and have people connect to it by just putting your ideas together, that really makes me happy.

Chloe is really just like an exaggerated aspect of myself.

I don't think my acting was ever bad; I always knew that I could do it. But when you go to audition for a drama, they're very serious in the room, and I was used to being kind of goofy and having small talk.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool.

I'm not married and I don't think that's going to work out for me. I'm not even bitter, I'm just exhausted.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool. I got into acting to avoid politics of any sort so I could remain in a fantasy world.

I personally have a background of many days on end of confusion, understimulation, overstimulation, and uncomfortableness with the world around me.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she's not just annoying. It's that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn't have time because she has so much going on in her brain.

When you go to auditions, pretend you already have the job and you're just presenting - almost like you're at the table read. Don't go in with an air of, 'Please like me,' or, 'Please hire me.' You're like, 'Here's my take on it. Take it or leave it. I've got a lot of other things to do today.'
