Ana Gasteyer

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

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'm a liberal inside a liberal's body.

I am inspired by show girls and Vegas. I was a cabaret performer, so that's where all that influence comes from.

I had pretty much raised my kids and my first wife and I were divorced, so I began, in earnest, to start my musical career again. Going for the big record deal and all of that.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.
