everybody good job looked spoke
My first job was with 'Dawson's Creek' where everybody looked good and they spoke better than you. It was kind of a wish fulfillment, fantasy-type show.

I think I'm more of an absurdist than a satirist. I think I'm more of a - humanist? I hate to say it!
deeper themselves trying understanding
There's something very touching to me about someone almost communicating to themselves in some way - trying to come to some deeper understanding of yourself and having compassion for yourself.
