Rauch: "I don't really believe in regrets. I think everything happens as it should, and everything is an opportunity to learn."
Rauch: "The thing that stand-up does for you is that it toughens you up a bit as far as the business goes. It's hard. If a joke doesn't get a laugh, that's instant rejection. And that's mostly what this business is most of the time: a lot of rejection."
Rauch: "I think fame is hard in any capacity. It's so fleeting; it's not anything that you can really grab."
Rauch: "When I first went to acting school, they made me lose my accent, which is very upsetting for me. The first day of Shakespeare class, I remember the professor was like, 'Oh, boy. Oh no, no, no, no. No, no, no,' and sent me to a voice and speech class to get rid of the accent immediately."
Rauch: "I have always been a huge fan of gymnastics."
Rauch: "When I was out of work when I first moved to L.A., one of the first things my husband and I did was buy season's passes to Disney, and whenever I was bummed out about work, we would go to Space Mountain, and it was like a physical injection of anti-depressants."
Rauch: "When I'm trying to find my way into a character, the voice and physicality are the first two things I do."
Rauch: "I love an arcade. I love a boardwalk game. But I also love a rollercoaster. Though I think the rollercoaster love comes from the fact that it took a really long time for me to reach the height requirement, so I promised myself very early on that when I reach that, I will not take it for granted."
Rauch: "My fear is that, had I stayed in Jersey, I would have become Snooki because I'm just a bottle of hair dye away."
Rauch: "We must take down the carnies. I think we need to start a campaign to defeat their scamming ways. I never win the boardwalk basketball game."
Rauch: "I was a very weird child. I was very shy, so in school I would just mimic stand-up sets of Whoopi Goldberg."
