appeal school time trip york
I went to New York for the first time when I was in college for a school trip and, uh, it did not appeal to me. It was too much hustle and bustle.
amazing appeal benefits control fleeting great improv liked rare sitting
I know the benefits of having a really great improv show are amazing because it was this one rare and fleeting thing that was incredible, but the risk just didn't appeal to me. I liked the control of sitting down and writing things.
tiny worked
I worked in IT for about three years for a tiny firm with ten other people.
I tend to play nurses and waitresses and policewomen.
agency audition
I taped my original audition for 'Fargo' with my agency in Chicago, Stewart Talent.
few multiple saw tape worn
I saw 'Fargo,' not when it came out, but probably a few years later, and went through multiple viewings - I'm sure my tape has been worn out.
love originally stay
I originally wanted to stay in Chicago as long as I could. I love Chicago. I don't love L.A. I don't want to leave Chicago.
acted certainly dreaming fame fortune gotten past point
I never really acted full-time. I certainly had gotten past the point where fame and fortune was something that I was dreaming about or anticipating.
I need an office and a place I can sit down to get away from television and just write.
recognized
I haven't been recognized out in public or anything. The strangeness of celebrity has been relegated to Twitter, which is kind of manageable.
evolved performance
I guess my interest in performance has evolved and changed many times over the years.
people
I don't think you realize how often on television people are not like anyone we know or have known.
both nervous per phobias prolonged spaces tend tight time vast
I don't have any phobias per se, but both tight and vast spaces tend to make me nervous after a prolonged time.
dating rife
I did Internet dating for a while, and that is rife with horrible dating stories.
