She fondly recalled her relationship with Perry.
No one made me laugh as hard.
Just tears, streaming.

There was just such joy in being around him and being his friend.
The two met while filming the 2008 movieBirds of America, and stayed in touch.
We have great chemistry when working together and its fun to work with a close friend.
