school feet everyday
I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.
sleep eight would-be
Eight hours of sleep would be amazing. That would be the best. If I could just figure out that part of my life, it would be great.
thinking play two
A lot of the time, youre supposed to play to the top of your intelligence, as truthful as possible. But when youre on stage making people laugh, youre still acting. I think it helped me a bunch to go on stage two or three times a week.
fall writing views
It's funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that's really funny, and I'll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it's three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views.
fun character parks-and-recreation
I love doing comedy. One of my favorite things in the world is to do Parks and Recreation; a big fun character.
equal relationships time understand
By this time we're all on equal footing; we understand each other and know each other. It makes for better relationships and better music.
credit gives laughter says time
I have to give the credit to Mr. Volpe at the announcer?s table, he makes me laugh, gives me nicknames, says something different every time I go up. That loosens me up and I don?t even think about it.
column hurt inspired steve threat
I don't think they thought I was a threat to Steve Pederson. They thought someone would read my column and be inspired to hurt his kids.
