Opening up about the Family Guy team and how it is to work on the show, she added,” I love those people, I love that character. [I’ll stay] as long as the writers are able to come up with stories that in some way are fresh and interesting. Every time I read a script, I laugh out loud. So, that’s my measure. My barometer is, if I’m still laughing when I receive a script, then it’s still a pleasure to do.”
