funny-inspirational tough full-of-yourself
Interviewing is tough, especially if you don't know what you're looking for.
children world helping
I'd love to help the entire world. Even to change the life of one child is amazing.
sexy want way
What makes all those women sexy? Were they just born sexy? I guess it's the way they act. I don't want to have to act sexy. I just want to be me, and if I don't happen to be sexy, oh well. That's OK. I don't want to force something I'm not.
makeup who-i-am looks
I just realized that I'm just going to be who I am. I don't need to adjust how I look for anyone or even for myself. Even if I have a pimple, I'm not going to cover it up with makeup.
kids problem realizing
Throughout my whole life money has always been a problem. But I didn't realize that we were poor when we were kids!
tired writing sick
Right now I'm sick of acting, so it's like, maybe I'll do writing for a bit. Then, when I'm tired of writing, I'll go work on my music. When I'm sick of music, I'll be like, I'm going to start performing comedy now. So it's good. It's not like I want to be famous or anything.
thinking ideas twists
The idea of surprise is part of what makes something funny, or what gets a reaction. At least when I'm an audience member, after you hear a joke so many times it's not as funny because it loses its surprise or its twist. So I think funny has to do with surprise.
real hate thinking
I think sometimes it's hard to know what you feel, or to know what's real and what's not, because love or hate or any feeling is a belief. You can say you hate someone, but you don't truly know them.
hate people example
You can have examples of reasons to hate people, but if you analyze those reasons it's like, Oh, I'm hating that person based on one thing they did, but I don't actually know them well enough to hate them.
thinking care how-you-feel
I think actions really do define how you feel, as opposed to just saying, "I care about you" or "I want to be with you."
mistake thinking feelings
I think as human beings we contradict our feelings constantly, we make mistakes, but I think ultimately it comes down to actions to define how we feel about each other.
nice thinking people
I think sometimes people forget how to be nice to people. I try not to let it get to me.
mean people rude
Even when I'm stressed out I'm not mean to people. I'm not constantly rude to people. But sometimes people are so rude.
thinking people be-kind
I think I have an obligation to be kind to people in general, otherwise I'll feel crappy about myself.
