fun black cartoon
[Voicing a cartoon] feels like going down a mysterious but joyful black hole. Once you relax for 15 or 20 minutes, and really go, "I don't care if I look like an ass," it's really fun to see what happens. You know that nothing is being visually judged.
strong piano age
I had a very strong interest in music, specifically the piano from a very small age.
mother crazy tested
I'm not crazy; my mother had me tested
writing thinking play
Every time I think about writing, comedy doesn't interest me in the slightest. I can play comedy, but I don't think in terms of comic dialogue.
jobs mean actors
To have a job you can count on as an actor is so rare, whether that means belonging to a regional theater company or being on TV.
never-say-never bigs believer
Well, I'm a big believer in 'never say never.
school acting houston
When I first started out in Houston, it was theater or bust. And I loved it. I still love it. And then I went to undergraduate and graduate school for acting.
tennis seeing
I love seeing tennis up close.
Someone else's success is not your failure.
stupid home feels
Home is where you feel unjudged, and where what I do isn't necessarily stupid or wrong.
character choices roles
My choices in projects have all been character or role-based, and on a financial level, it's obvious: as an actor on a TV series, I get a wonderful paycheck, and a consistent paycheck, which doesn't always happen when you're doing theater or movies.
talking next scripts
It's a shame, but every time I get something scientific in the script, I read up to find out what I'm talking about - but then I'm on to the next script and it's forgotten.
college class age
I was very fascinated with meteorology at a young age. I lived on the Gulf Coast and hurricanes blew through there. That is the class I failed in college: meteorology.
winning two people
You can look at the Emmys two ways in you're nominated. It's either win-win or lose-lose. If things go very well and I win, you still have to get up in front of a group of people and risk having God knows what come out of your mouth. If you won't win, you have to breathe deeply and smile and clap with a camera in your face.
