You have to really love them because youre going to spend so much time thinking about them.
Because I love her!
Thank God I went first on that one.
Could you imagine if I was rolling out that terrible Marcia Clark [now]?
That was literally because we could not book anybody.
Sarah Paulson was already booked on the other one, I guess.
In fact, Fey later namedThe People v. O.J.
Shes still hard at work on theMean Girlsmusical.
In the meantime, shell continue working on the upcomingMean Girlsmusical.
Do you take out things that are now outdated?
Like three-way calling is not a thing.
She misses working onSaturday Night Live,especially during election season.
What is happening?!
Shell probably never do a full TV series with Amy Poehler.
People sometimes do say, Why dont you guys do a series together?
And so it works in short spurts.
She auditioned for theInto the Woodsmovie.
(Emily Blunt ended up landing the role.)
I tried to beg my way into that movie, Fey said.
Its like, they knew where you were, sweetheart.
They couldve found you if they wanted you to audition.
That was in my weird year off between TV shows.
Shell always consider herself more of a writer or an actor than a director.
And I just dont understand or really care about cameras.
After all these years on set, I understand whats happening, but I just dont care.
