I think 'Bridesmaids' has changed things socially and culturally. Before, it was really difficult for women to do scatological humour without seeming gross.

If I get two lines in the script, I somehow turn it into 20. I've got a bit of a bad habit of doing that, of just embellishing my little moment.

I'm more of the girl who's always in the friend zone, and I try to help if my other friend wants to get with someone.

Sometimes my mum is very disapproving of my comedy.
