both immensely
Improv has been immensely beneficial to me as both an actor and a writer.

In a weird way, the drama behind the stage was sort of keeping 'Community' on people's minds.

When I teach sketch writing, there's still a beginning, middle and end.

certainly family growing mind mine people phone pulling
I've certainly been someone who has loved to mine the trials and tribulations of growing up in general, and the people who are in our lives, and I don't mind pulling from them and writing things down on my phone that my family says.
people
People are vocal, so you hear the pros and cons of your shows.
people purge until
Some people like to purge out a draft and just let it go and then go back and fix it, but I'm a writer-rewriter. I can't move on until I feel like it's presentable.
As far as working with actors, I feel very comfortable working in that aspect of directing.

As long as a teaser saves some things, that's good.
asking attack car life needed scale telling
One summer, when I was a kid, I was in the car with my stepfather, and he was asking me where I thought I ranked, on a scale of 1 to 10. I said, '6,' and he said, '3.' I think it was his way of telling me that I needed to get out and really attack life.
acting drawn emotional line minute sort sudden toe
My acting has always been in the world of comedy, but in my writing, other than writing sketches, I really am drawn to the balance between comedy and drama. I like things that sort of toe that line of one minute you're in this emotional space and then all of the sudden something happens.
