So much of it.
You know whats the weirdest place?
You dont go to a game to eat hummus.

You go to have a hot dog and sty beer.
I remember being like, Im only eating this because Im going for the healthy option.
In general, my life is in honor of healthy options.

Was it served in a batting helmet?No, but they have the soft serve in the helmet.
That would be so heinous.
Also because thats way too much hummus.
It was in a little snack pack.
Which is also disgusting for an adult.
Its like, Take a moment for yourself.
Eat out of a bowl.
I know youre busy, but those things matter.
Dana talks about the woman inside her, Bedelia, whos a little wicked and wild.
Shes usually telling me to go for it in a nice way.
Theres no point in having an imaginary friend that is cruel or reiterative.
Thats what the superego is for.
Whats the greatest case that youve ever cracked in real life?Im not a very nosy person.
I dont tend to be a lot like my characters.
I dont think Ive ever solved a case.
Ive, like, discovered where a bad smell is coming from.
You know, in a house.
Not on my body.
I know where everything comes from and I take a stab at handle it.
Whats the thing that youre most ashamed about being the least gifted at?My handwriting.
Your dad is a poet and your mom is a ceramicistShes a potter.
They sort of look like vases but theyre not.
Shes a Raku potter.
Will your next indie film be about them?
Because thats what theyre doing now.
It would be like a Mike Mills movie.
We grew up with very little current pop culture in our house.
But I do think that scene is legit.
Its a pillar of my sexuality.
That and Michelle Pfeiffers Catwoman.Whoa.
Why arent people still talking aboutthat?
You do lots of animated voice-over work (Zootopia,The Secret Life of Pets,Bobs Burgers).
How would you describe your voice, using only words beginning with v and o?Vivacious.
Verdant…. O is a hard one…. Open.
Ooh la la is a major one.
I feel a big sense of Ooh la la!
when I do voice-over because its a major honor.
Ive felt that way ever since I saw footage of Robin Williams doing the Genie [inAladdin].
Youve voiced a sheep, a dog, a snake, and a shell.
Which animal did you shadow the most to get into character?The shell.
I am the most like the shell.
The shell with an eye.
Seeing out from within, something small.
And Marcel the Shell is the most like me.
Thats why it is very precious to me.
Because its the truest expression of what Im like.
Did your research involve lots of strolls along the shoreline?Ive done a lot of beach time.
Im an East Coaster.
I am obsessed with collecting shells, I always have been.
But to make Marcel an actual shell was my ex-husbands idea.
So I really cant take credit for it.
But I did visit bunch of sheep.
I love farm animals, so it was really nice.
I think horses are psycho.
I have 15 minutes of stand-up about how much they make me feel really deeply upset.
Whatshouldntany potential boyfriend know about you?Theyshouldknow everything, dont you think?
I hope that if I have a boyfriend again which hopefully I will, Jesus Christ!
that theres nothing about me that someone shouldnt know.
Like, I havent killed anyone.
Or they dont need to know every sexual fantasy.
Some of those are just for me with me.
Which os or -maniacs describe you?Um, weirdo.
I am an animaniac.
I do feel that way.
I guess when I really love someone I can be a little bit of a nympho with them.
Why wouldnt you be?…
Im not a psycho.
And Im not a klepto.
Im not a necrophiliac.
Im not a hemophiliac because Im not of royal U.K. blood.
Im not of the Hapsburg dynasty.
I just got up there and talked aboutBeauty and the Beastfor, like, 15 minutes.
And now actually I do have some material aboutBeauty and the Beastthats really good.
It actually sparked something so, you know, not worth nothing.
You said the f-word in your firstSNLappearance and were fired after the season.
I gave the finger and she said, Sit and rotate!
to the boys and it was like,Whoaaaaa.
And then when we were on the bus, the counselors werent really mad.
And Im like, If you like horses, youre crazy.
I could love you.
But I just cant get there right now.
My friends think that if a horse is on the TV, they have to turn it off.
Thats how bad the horse thing is.
But the fact is that the doors open.
If I had a farm, I would want to have a horse.
Horses are a Top Five fear, but I also love them a little bit.
