As you can tell by my IMDB page, I like to work.
Boy, you know, it's amazing how your brain can turn into a sieve, and you can literally forget episodes that you have shot.
Bitterness doesn't serve you any good. And it really tells you more about how you feel about yourself than anything you feel about your friends.
Acting by yourself is pretty darn hard, especially having to do physical comedy.
I always want to do something I haven't done before and get to work with other actors, writers, or directors that I want to work with.
I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs.
A lot of my friends are guys, so I'm used to bro antics.
I like the 'Moth' podcast a lot. I listen to that.
There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn't very rebellious.
I used to like to make myself sad, so I would listen to Bill Callahan as Smog.
Rather than just becoming embittered by your friends' success, I think it can motivate you.
I've gotten super into restaurants in L.A., so I try to go to different restaurants all the time that's a good way to explore L.A.: you can drive to a restaurant and discover a new neighborhood.
I've thought a lot about how if something horrible happened, and if it were like 'The Road' situation, I've decided I don't want to survive past the death of society as we know it.
