While marriage is historically associated with dire obligation and clipped wings, I’ve found that it actually liberates you to take on adventure and achieve your dreams. I like to call my husband ‘my person.’ Find your ‘person,’ and you can do anything! Lake Bell Read Quote
I’ll be totally honest in that I feel tremendously lucky that I am offered incredible jobs all the time to direct, but the problem that I have just personally is that there are only so many years in my life to dedicate to certain projects. Lake Bell Read Quote
I’m forever writing, forever looking for something to direct or produce, and always on the hunt for a great role. Lake Bell Read Quote
I think part of what I love about being an actor is getting to take on different worlds and investigate different genres and travel to different lands. Lake Bell Read Quote
I feel that being an actor is a front-row seat into seeing how everybody else makes their movies. Basically, being in the trenches for ten years is like a college-level course in filmmaking if not more. It feels like every director I work with and every set that I visit as an actor, I see someone else’s definition of filmmaking. Lake Bell Read Quote
I feel very lucky that when I’m burnt out of acting, I take to the pen, and I write something I want to direct. And then, when I’m tired of taking on too much responsibility as a director, I then look for an acting gig. And I’ve made it very clear that I’m interested in voiceover work. I mean, I’m always looking for voiceover gigs. I love that. Lake Bell Read Quote
I think of myself as a content creator and, hopefully one day, a content enabler and supporter of others, so that’s what my immediate and hopefully future journey is. Lake Bell Read Quote
I think, in general, when you’re doing comedy, you’re having a good time regardless of the comedy table tennis that you’re playing. I think you want that, too: you’re rooting for two characters to be together, and you should feel that even when they’re angry at each other, they’re still in synch with each other.

I don’t really enjoy working in TV, to be completely honest. Even though it’s incredibly lucrative, I’m just terrified of not being satiated in a myriad of different ways. Lake Bell Read Quote
Anything that is profoundly energy-shifting – like having a child – is fodder for creative thought. So for me, I welcome it and look straight into it as something to learn from. Lake Bell Read Quote
