fun thinking skills
I used to feel this need to prove to people that I can do something dramatic. But, the truth is that I don't know if I can. I don't think I have it in my skill set. It would be great, but I do love making comedies. It's been so much fun for me, and I hope that I can continue to do it.
nice thinking careers
In every career, you are balancing or negotiating tricky waters. But, I think that's been something nice that comedy has been able to give me a little bit more. I have the ability to laugh at myself and hopefully not take all of this whole world too seriously.
jobs character thinking
Playing those one-dimensional characters is actually really difficult because you're not dealing with somebody you would ever really know. I don't think anybody here could imagine actually knowing Cindy Campbell from Scary Movies. So, in a way, your job is so much easier when you're playing a person that you really understand and that seems very relatable. I think I was coming to a place in my career where I was like, "I'd like to do something a little more rewarding."
men thinking together
Sometimes you think, "Oh man, this is going to be a fantastic movie," and then when you see it put together, you're like, "Oh, huh. Well, that didn't turn out quite the way I thought." Sometimes you think you're part of a project and it isn't that great, and then it sort of becomes a pleasant surprise. But I think there's just too many elements that affect the tone of a movie, so I think even for a director, it may be hard to gauge that.
party character thinking
Years ago, I was thinking about this type of character and what happens when you've lived in this sort of strange, surreal world where it's parties all the time and then you don't get to live there anymore. What do you do with the rest of your life?
thinking people important
I know a lot of actors talk about the importance of wardrobe, and it always seems like it's kind of a cop-out, maybe, because it seems like a minor detail to some people. But I think it's hugely important.
grateful kids thinking
One of the things that comedy has given me over the years is a really good ability to laugh at myself and to not take things that don't matter too much too seriously. I feel that very little offends me anymore and I'm really grateful for that because I think I was a pretty uptight little kid.
stupid thinking ideas
You have to be willing to accept the idea that people may think you're stupid.
innocent naive save simple trying
She's still the same old simple Cindy. She's just as innocent and naive as ever, just trying to save the world again.
david facial list specific talks tells wants
David even has a list of facial expressions. He tells you which one he wants you to use for a specific moment. David never talks about character. He talks about how we're going to get a laugh.
lack looking ok risks vanity
It takes, truly, a lack of vanity and just being able to take some risks and being OK with looking like a fool, which I am very OK with now.
vanity doe comedy
I feel like all comedy does require a lack of vanity, but multi-cam, especially.
aunt challenges answers
I know that's a vague answer, but you just have to really pedal yourself around town and attempt to not get too discouraged. There is also a different kind of challenge for women, as they graduate into their 30s. It's hard. There isn't as much work. You're suddenly the aunt, or something. So, it's a process.
ass crew knows
I don't know about you, but I love showing my ass to a crew of 300 that I've been working with.
