Wiig got the chance to do that in the upcoming movie The Skeleton Twins, co-starring SNL's Bill Hader.
Whether she's starring in a comedy or a drama, Wiig wants to take more risks. She does just that in the movie Welcome to Me, co-starring James Marsden and Will Ferrell. Wiig plays a woman with borderline personality disorder who wins the lottery, stops taking her medication and starts a talk show. "I'd never read a character like that," she says. "I got to a scene where it read, 'She's fully naked,' and I remember thinking, 'If I do this movie, I have to do this scene, because it's really important to this script.'"
Wiig's full interview appears in the August 2014 issue of Elle, on newsstands July 22.
