best figured good loved science teacher theatre
I loved theatre and did magic, too, but I was never the best at it - there was never a teacher saying, 'You're great, you have to make this your career!' I was good at science and math. I figured I'd go into science and become a dentist.
people putting says situations
I don't like getting people upset, so that's not my goal. But I like putting people in situations where how they respond says a lot about them.
people time
A lot of the time, people think I'm really dumb or really uncomfortable talking to them, which is kind of a real thing.
bad
I'm very bad at ending sentences. A lot times I just want to say, 'That's the end of my sentence. I have nothing more to say.'
goal people sometimes
Everyone’s default state is this pleasantry state. My goal in the show is to undercut that as quickly as possible. If you really do let it sit, it’s sometimes amazing what comes out of people.
kissing situations-in-life people
Some of the funniest things are just situations in life that are funny. The way people interact. People describing their first kiss with someone, to me, is really funny. When someone goes into detail about each moment of that, I really find that enjoyable to listen to.
talking silence trying
In my personal life, I will do whatever it takes to make a situation comfortable if I sense - if I'm talking to someone [and] I sense there's a silence, I'll try to fill that gap. It makes me very anxious when things get uncomfortable.
light worried bulbs
If Edison was worried about his candle customers, he would have never invented the light bulb.
fall laughing people
I agree that someone falling down is really funny, and I can go on YouTube and watch people falling. It makes me laugh.
