Elle Fanning, TiffanyHaddish, Jane Levy (jcolburnlevy), JameelaJamil, RobinThede, and Amy Sedaris discuss the roles they’ve passed on, the perks of playing ugly and the stories they’re eager to tell. More from the Comedy Actress THRRoundtable:

If I had a show this weekend, I'd just talk my truth. Like, people have asked me, "Tiffany, how can we solve this? What do you think we could do?" And to be honest, I don't know. But I know whenhave problems and I want them solved, I just stop having sex and everything's solved. So, if everybody just stopped having sex, especially if you are in an interracial relationship and your man is white, stop having sex with your white man. Things will change.

But I guess it was probably sometime through season two. Season one was really hard. I think generally as a woman you have a tendency toward imposter syndrome, so when you are literally an imposter, someone who has never acted, surrounded by veterans and people like Ted [Danson] and Kristen [Bell], and even my supporting cast had all been working for about two decades, I felt so unworthy of being there and so stressed that I used to comfort-eat my way through the entire season one.

I still have so much to learn, but the joy of [creator] Mike Schur is that he is someone who writes those interesting, complicated, nuanced, different roles, especially for women and for people from other ethnicities. I wasn't the typical South Asian like , "Hello, I drive taxi cab, I am your doctor," the only kind of roles that we South Asians were ever given historically.

Earlier in this conversation, Elle referenced the horse-sex rumor that followed Catherine the Great. I'm curious if you all have ever felt compelled to clear up a misconception about yourself or if you've ever felt genuinely misunderstood?Oh, people come up with crazy stuff to say about you. They look at you and I feel like they put their own little crazy thoughts on you and then they create these stories. And I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, but when I make them, I claim them.
