Amy Schumer "doesn't know" if she wants to make more movies.
The 34-year-old comic has earned rave reviews for her debut film 'Trainwreck' but thinks she'd rather stick with her comedy series as she hates the audition process.
She said: "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.'
"Then you forget about it and that summer you see the role is being played by Jessica Biel.
"Everyone seems like acting in movies is the brass ring. But after doing one I feel like, 'OK, I get that that's appealing but it's not like, 'Well now I've done a movie I can't possibly go back to my stupid TV show.'"
However, the 'Inside Amy Schumer' star is also harbouring other career ambitions.
She told Empire magazine: "You know, I'm thinking of going to dental school."

Richard Madden is grateful he isn't "too good looking".
The 'Game of Thrones' actor doesn't think he is particularly attractive, but thinks that lands him more work as he has seen a number of his "really handsome" friends get turned down for roles because of their appearance.
He said: "I don't think I'm handsome. I have friends who are really handsome and they don't get certain parts because they are too good looking. I've never had that problem.
"I look different in every role, which I suppose is quite handy."
But the 28-year-old star takes care of his appearance, especially when he knows he'll have a shirtless scene.
He said: "My job is like being an athlete, as lots of roles require you to take your top off.
"It's not just actresses who get scrutinised for their looks.
"I'm no good at balance - I'll either be eating healthily and exercising or stuffing too many pizzas and beers down."
Despite his success, the 'Cinderella' actor is always convinced he'll never find work again once filming wraps on a project.
He told Woman magazine: "I still can't believe acting is a job. I started as a kid and I've been lucky to keep working.
"But every time I finish a part, I think it'll be my last. I don't feel like I'm conquering Hollywood, I think I got lucky on a few things.
"You panic and start thinking, 'Oh God, I have no other skills and I'm nearly 30.' "

Henry Cavill considered quitting acting for the Army.
The 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' actor - who was pipped to the role of James Bond by Daniel Craig - admits he worried he'd never make it in Hollywood and only decided to continue in his profession when speculation about the 007 role brought his name into prominence.
He admitted: "There were plenty of times I thought it wouldn't happen. At one stage I was like, 'If this next movie doesn't do well then I'm out, I'm going to join the Armed Forces'.
"Then I got the screen test for Bond and thought, my name is out there now, so maybe I should stick around. And I did."
The 32-year-old hunk became an actor as a way of avoiding being bullied at school and found it a way of gaining acceptance from his peers.
He told Britain's OK! magazine: "I was just decent at acting in school and it was my escape.
"I was being bullied but no one could make fun of me for playing a character because that's what I was told to do.
"Afterwards, the bullies were like, 'You were quite good in that', so I thought it was probably something I should pursue."

Zoë Kravitz thinks female-led films will become "a gimmick".
The 26-year-old actress believes comedies starring women in leading roles such as 'Bridesmaids' will become a Hollywood "fad", even though she admitted the industry is becoming more equal.
She explained: "There's a shift happening, but I don't think we should get too excited yet.
"We have to make sure it doesn't become a fad: ''Bridesmaids'! Oh! That's funny! It's funny to get a bunch of girls doing crude s**t.'
"I don't want it to become: 'This is the female version, because that sells now.' That's how this industry works: they find what sells and they turn it into a gimmick. They take all of the soul out of it."
The 'Mad Max: Fury Road' star - who is the daughter of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz - continued to blast the movie industry by insisting filmmakers are too safe with their scripts which means the majority of flicks are "really boring" compared to those which were being released 20 years ago.
She told The Guardian newspaper: "I think a lot of films now are really, really boring because no one's willing to offend anymore.
"Everything's become so PC. If you watch any movie that was made before the mid-90s, there are things that are being said and done that no one would dare do now."

Meryl Streep, Sam Mendes and James Corden will be honoured at the Britannia Awards. The stars are the first to be named by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Los Angeles for the ceremony, which will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel ...

Natalie Portman found speaking Hebrew in her new film "more challenging" than she expected.
The Israeli-born actress is working on her directional debut 'A Tale of Love and Darkness', in which she also stars, and admitted she had to work hard to get her accent right because she kept making "grammatical errors".
She said: "It was more challenging than I expected. I am pretty good but I still make a lot of grammatical errors, and I had to work a lot on my accent. It was okay to have an accent because my character in the movie is an immigrant, but it's not OK for her to have an American accent."
The film - which is an adaptation of Israeli writer Amos Oz's memoir, set to be released next year - marks the first time the 34-year-old star has stepped behind the camera and although it was a huge task for the actress, she was comforted by Amos who only insisted nothing in the film was "simplified", especially his mother's suicide.
She told the Independent newspaper: "Amos is an extremely kind, warm human being and so he didn't make me feel like I was on trial. I really had to show him my passion and commitment to the material and all he asked was that I don't make any sort of simplified explanations as to why she [his mother] killed herself. He said 'please don't do that'."

Robert Vaughn ran for his life after failing to pay the bill in a Mexican brothel.
The 82-year-old actor and his close friend, Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, were set upon by the brothel's bouncers when they couldn't settle their debt.
Vaughn, who was filming the hit western 'The Magnificent Seven' at the time, recalled: "They said, 'How many girls would you like?' And Steve said, 'SEVEN.
"We are 'The Magnificent Seven' and we want seven girls'. Even though not all seven of us were there.
"Steve was notorious for never carrying money. I didn't know this as it was the first time we'd ever been out together.
"He pulled out his Diners Club card, the madam of the house looked at it and went over and got a very tall, big Mexican guy and he shook his head and said, 'NO'."
The Hollywood duo - who had been drinking and smoking marijuana - then decided to make a run for their safety.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "We just ran. I jumped out the window and ended up climbing over a wall, and as I dropped down on to a street I thought, 'This is the end for me'."

Britain could become the home of more blockbuster movies after the industry received a significant financial boost.
Government efforts to extend tax breaks for the industry have been approved by the European Union, meaning film production companies can claim tax relief of 25 percent payable towards the cost of production, thereby increasing the likelihood of more big-budget movies being made in the country.
Amanda Nevill, chief executive of UK film body the British Film Institute, said: "The film tax relief is a key ingredient in the UK's winning combination of outstanding film-making talent and crews, world-leading studios and facilities, and iconic locations.
"It keeps us competitive on the world stage, and helps grow our economy and create jobs at home.
"We warmly welcome this extension to the tax relief and the government's continued commitment to the UK's thriving film industry."
Already, the tax breaks have funded £8 billion of production costs, including films like 'Gravity' and the 'Harry Potter' franchise, which stars some of Britain's most popular young actors, such as Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson.
Some 222 films received such support in 2014, according to the UK government.

A court has banned Adam Deacon from contacting fellow actor and director Noel Clarke.
The 32-year-old performer from London - who starred alongside Noel in the films 'Kidulthood' and the sequel 'Adulthood' - was found guilty of harassment without violence earlier this year after bombarding his former friend with a "barrage" of abusive messages on social media.
The duo fell out in 2010 when Clarke accused Deacon of cutting him out of his spoof movie 'Anuvahood'.
Deacon's lawyer claimed during the sentencing hearing that his client had a "history of mental health difficulties".
He said: "There was plainly a long-running feud between Mr Deacon and Mr Clarke dating back to 2010 at the very least. Perhaps Mr Deacon had justifiable reasons for feeling aggrieved towards Mr Clarke, perhaps he did not.
"What is clear is that his online trolling of Mr Clarke overstepped the mark from unreasonable behaviour to actions that were unacceptable."
The abusive behaviour had an "appalling" effect on Clarke, according to District Judge Shenagh Bayne, who said the actor was "visibly distressed" as he gave evidence.
Under the terms of the restraining order, Deacon is prevented from having any contact with his former friend, including over social media networks.
