Rachel Dratch Quotations

When I was little, we used to have Atari.

Yeah, and I remember that game Pitfall. That was my favorite. I heard there's a new one, too - so maybe I'll have to get back into it.

The Yale group was doing the Harold. So by our senior year we were trying to do the Harold. Again, we had no idea what we were doing. We had one guy in the group who was pretty experimental; he would kind of push us to do weird things. It was really fun, a great experience.

So, then, after college I did a children's theater tour for six months, but then I came out here. Just to try to do the whole Second City thing.

Everybody always asks about Jimmy Fallon. I'm sorry to say that he's very nice and there's not much bad to say about him. I don't know if he sucks at videogames or not. I don't think he plays them, but he could have this whole secret life I don't know about.

I didn't originally intend on writing a book. I started writing during the day to feel like I was accomplishing something creative.

I also didn't consider myself a huge baby person.

I definitely don't want to do drama. I'm not looking to branch out into that world.

I don't really consider myself an impressionist.

I have no wisdom to share on dating.

I never wanted to be that person who leaves 'SNL' and nothing happens.

I started doing improv in college, and I really liked it.

I was sort of the class-clown type, and I was also in school plays, and I always liked comedy.

Many comedians have a dark side that lets them take a negative thing and turn it funny.

Since I was little, it was instilled in me to conserve water. In terms of what can you do as an individual, it's an easy issue to get behind.

I'm definitely not up-to-date on the high-tech videogame world.

All I remember is the last time I played a videogame, it was Space Invaders.

And you know when I was growing up, I knew I wanted to have kids, but I knew I didn't want to do it alone. Then once I was 41, 42, I had to accept that I probably wouldn't have kids unless I decided to adopt later on, but even then it would be with a partner.

I didn't consider myself a huge baby person. I`m not like, "Oh my god! I want to hold every baby!" And some women just have that engraved in their minds.

The first time we put Debbie Downer on the show, I had a giggle fit that I couldn't control, and the whole cast ended up breaking so hard we could never quite recover.

In real life, I'm gorgeous, beautiful.

When I was a kid, I was super shy.

The environmental agenda seems swept under the rug a lot, and environmentalists are looked at as tree-huggers who aren't dealing with the real issues when in fact someone needs to be keeping an eye on how we're treating the planet. When politicians bring up the environment, they're immediately labeled as being anti-business. But for the sake of the planet on which we live, we need to take the environment into account.

If it gets laughs, it's funny.

Actually, I didn't like Dartmouth very much, but the whole theater scene I really liked.

I did some acting in high school, I knew I really liked it.

Personally, I don't even read bummer news stories about the environment because it makes me feel helpless to fix anything and reminds me that the general population doesn't treat these issues as an important part of our political life.

I remember watching Gilda Radner when I was a kid and everyone thought she was so funny and no one ever said that she was a funny woman, she was just funny.

If you have an impulse, not if you're going to ruin someone elses' scene, if you have an impulse of a funny little add-on or taking something in a weird direction, try it.

But I majored in Drama, modified with Psychology.

I hate trying to analyze comedy in some deep way. If it gets laughs, it's funny.

I started doing improv my sophomore year.

I had always wanted to be on SNL, it's not always great, but it's this leftover childhood dream.

I could see myself in some sort of pioneer bonnet, it's my childhood fantasy. But, I think I look too jewish for the prairie.
