dating people bummed-out
It's weird to have people so interested in your personal life. It's a part of the business that grosses me out. I'm always bummed out for people who just happen to be dating a celebrity, and they're also famous, and they can't live their life.
past night parent
I used to stay up at night and sneak into the TV room, past my parents, who were asleep, to watch Saturday Night's 'Main Event.' That's how I started watching SNL. On accident.
people realizing snl
I didn't realize how much people liked to bash SNL until I was on. I've always just liked it, and I've always watched it and been into it.
matter growing internet
No matter how much it's growing, the Internet still is a pretty specific demographic. It doesn't necessarily represent the general populace.
want snl ends
Well, basically, when you get SNL, everyone wants to take a meeting, just in case you end up being good.
thinking pieces comedy
A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece, anywhere, is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously.
character laughing relief
Comedy always works better when you're tracking the story and you care about the characters. That's why there's a lot of movies where there's not a ton of jokes, but you get huge laughs because there's a moment of relief.
reading mean people
We started out on the Internet, so I've been reading what people had to say about stuff since we were getting mean comments on iFilm, before we even had our site going. People are really, really rough on the web - that's their right, that's the whole point of it - but sometimes it can be a little bit brutal.
thinking views self
I do a lot of laughing at my own self in life, so I think I come at things with a pretty easygoing view.
hate stuff-i-like favorites-things
I've always felt that if something is polarizing, that's usually the stuff I like the most. If something is taking a chance and is willing to be weird, that's my favorite thing. I know there's somebody out there who hates it.
ifs edges
If I was any more on edge, I'd be Bono...
long lucky comedy
As long as I get to be doing what I love, which is making comedy and that kind of thing, I feel lucky that I get to.
sleep killers remember
Sometimes it is difficult to remember, but other times it is very easy to remember. Sleep deprivation is the killer.
mom running children
My mom let me kind of run free and be rowdy. She encouraged it. I'm a youngest child. So I was spazzy and trying to be funny to my older sisters. It's kind of my role in the family - tension reliever. I was funny or annoying, depending on your perspective.
