Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.
Don't be snarky, but don't be saccharine. Don't pander, but don't shut people out. Go straight down the line with the performance.
I know that I don't like being teased.
I just want to be able to do something that's interesting to me.
I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.
There's a part of me that would love to be in an action movie where I get to run around and punch people in the face and, whatever, be a murderer, I don't care!
I don't like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.
I just want to work hard. I love that feeling.
You have to be really careful to watch out for the difference between banding together, and being grouped together by people who don't understand you.
I want to make every kind of movie that I can make. I don't really care if they're big or small.
There's a lot of different parts to me, so it makes total sense to me that I would do a big TV show or studio movie and then do a free comedy show the next day. They both feel equally important to me.
I really like to cook and have dinner parties and I like to clean, it really clears my head and it makes me feel good to keep my home as a comfortable place.
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
When I go and make smaller films, I actually never think about them being made for a smaller audience.
