thinking
I really don't have a specific idea of where I want my career to go, I just have an idea of wanting to continue to work and work on things that I like and think are good.
real thinking goal
The idea of a journeyman actor, people sort of say negatively - "Someone who never made it for real" - [but] I think a journeyman actor is the complete goal.
thinking worry problem
For years while I was working as a waitress, all I wanted to do was get on a TV show. You think, "This will solve all the problems. I'm making more than 400 dollars a week; I don't have to worry about money ever again," but it's just not true.
children thinking age
I wanted to be a writer for a while. I was an excellent child writer. I won multiple poetry contests. I was published at age three - I think that was more about novelty than my immense talent.
writing winning thinking
There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.
thinking winning people
I think that it's a myth that there's one job that makes your whole career, unless you're winning an Oscar. But even that doesn't work for some people.
thinking people
We live in a time where improv is king and people love improv, and I think there's a time and a place for that and people who are really good at structuring improv.
thinking trying problem
There are problems everywhere, of course, but you can only see those certain problems when you reach a certain level. So I try to think of those problems as, "This is a sign that I'm having success, that I'm also having issues with this."
mother daughter thinking
There's innate competition, I think, between mothers and daughters - mine no more so than anyone else.
thinking artist our-family
I think it's very hard to go into the same business as your family when you're an artist.
experience great
I feel like everything will be a letdown after 'You're The Worst.' It was such a great experience.
play comedy knows
Most of my comedy is accidental, I would say. If I don't know what the joke is, I'm going to play it better than if I do.
night missing feelings
The thing I'd miss most is the feeling when acting is going well, when you start a play and you end the night and you look back and go, "What just happened?"
trying reason
No one is trying to be bad for the sake of being bad - there's always a reason behind it.
