opportunity want roles
I'm going to create my own opportunities. If I can't find the roles I want, I'll just make them.
soul devil my-soul
I sold my soul to the devil. I'd like to thank the devil.
people community working-with-others
Improv is so different, it's such a collaborative thing, you're working with other people, nothing is planned and it's kind of this community mentality, whereas stand-up, you're alone and it was really hard.
jobs fun thinking
Having to stand in front of an audience and have it be your job to make them laugh, you can't really look to anyone but yourself. It's what you wrote, what you said and how you said it, so it's kind of terrifying, but I liked it. When it goes well, it's the best feeling in the world. When it doesn't go well, it's the worst feeling, but once you get into the rhythm of it, I think it's really fun.
people want expenses
I want people to like me but not at my expense.
thinking talking people
I have a way of dealing with situations where I come off awkward, or people think I’m purposely trying to make things uncomfortable. But normally I’m talking really slowly or there’s a lot of silence because there’s just nothing going on. I’m just totally freaking out, but from the outside perspective it looks like I’m in control.
mom meaningful depressing
I like my name. My mom named me after a song by the 1970s group Bread. So, it's meaningful, and I like the song. It's a love song - kind of - but it's kind of depressing and dark.
would-be bowling alleys
It would be hilarious if I worked in a bowling alley.
thinking two brain
I realized two things from an early age - I was insane and had some kind of comedic thing going on. My brain was wired to think about things in terms of how funny they were.
smart character interesting
The female love interest is boring to me. A female that's interesting, smart, funny - that's what I'm drawn to. I wouldn't say that every character has to be smart, but she has to have one trait I can relate to.
growing-up obsessed garlands
Well, I was obsessed with Judy Garland growing up. Like, obsessed.
daniel-day-lewis
I'm not, like, Daniel Day Lewis. Yet. I will get there!
jobs women way
I'm pretty good at weaseling my way into a job, even if I have no business being there.
insecurity roles
I obviously bring all of my insecurities along with me to any role that I tackle.
