Stand-up comedian-actress Amy Schumer "doesn't know" if she wants to continue with movies.
The 34-year-old comic whose performance is her debut film "Trainwreck" earned rave reviews feels she may continue with her comedy series as she does not like the audition process, reported Empire magazine.
"I don't know if I want to be in movies. It's like this. You read a script and it says, 'She's pretty, but not gorgeous, the funniest person in the room.'
"Then you go in and the casting director says, 'Wow that was good.' Then your agent says, 'They loved you' then you call a week later and say, 'Have we heard anything?' and they say, 'No but you're still in the mix.'" Schumer said.
"Then you forget about it and that summer you see the role is being played by Jessica Biel," she added.
Apart from going back to her her comedy series, Schumer, 34, also has some other career options in mind.
"You know, I'm thinking of going to dental school," she said.
