Quotes from Kathryn Hahn

Being a parent is beautiful chaos and not at all like how you imagine.

I'm always in awe of improvisers that make something out of complete nothing.

'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.

I'm always blown away by stand-ups. I'm blown away by people like that who are craftspeople at comedy.

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 been pretending to be normal for so much of my life.

I loved doing 'Bad Moms.' I loved doing 'We're the Millers.' But now that I've tasted complexity, it doesn't matter what the genre is - it would be really hard to go back.

Your creative life can continue to just turn inside out and evolve in ways that you can't possibly imagine, whether or not you decide to be a parent. It doesn't matter.

I went to Catholic school for the cheapest private education.

I've always been a fan of horror because I feel like it is one of the last genres where you need to see at a theatre, sharing in this profound experience of seeing it with a community of people.

I think I was always a drama queen. I really, really, really loved playing pretend.

I'm really proud of 'Private Life.' It's about a marriage and a couple on the hunt to make a family by any means necessary. They're on such an obsessive quest that, after awhile, you forget that it's even for a baby. It fits right in that middle pocket of being a comedy and a drama.

I have to say I don't mind getting older.

My life is a big accident, so where I end up, I think it's all accidents.

It's so fun to play something that feels reckless - not all the time, but I really must be acting out something that I can't do in real life.
