From an office assistant, to a sheltered bridesmaid, to a woman who escaped a bunker after being held hostage for 15 years, Ellie Kemper is no stranger to versatile roles.

In an interview with "Good Morning America," Kemper talks about how despite a busy life as an actor and a mother, finding the time to focus on herself is becoming more important to her every day.

"Be sure to continue to carve out that time every day, even if it’s 10 minutes," Kemper said. "Whatever it is, just strike that healthy balance in your life."
