Quote by Mary Elizabeth Ellis

“I've been doing It's Aways Sunny for 12 years, and so I have this cable sensibility. When I read the Grinder script, I was like "this is edgy," which is great, but in a different way from Arrested Development. I feel like the characters are a little more relatable, so maybe that's the difference.”

“It's nice to be able to explore both sides of my personality. I definitely relate more to Debbie, my character on The Grinder.
