Ana Gasteyer

I've always lived in a city. I'm very social, and in a place like New York, even if you're alone on the subway, you never feel lonely.

I was inspired more by early Bette Midler. I do wear a fancy dress and very high heels - and extra high hair. My goal is to obliterate all earnestness.

I'd like to say that parody is a celebration of a person's specific characteristics, as opposed to mockery.

I don't think they're going to pay me to play Mufasa.

My standup is observational, but it's self-observational, and it's self-deprecating, definitely.
