chair liked playing role sitting
I auditioned for 'The Office,' and I don't know if it was a role I could do, but I liked the character. You do one take, and you're reading with a person who's just sitting in a chair and not really... you're not playing off someone, which is what I like to do. I like to play around and find the moment.
bit natural people super tendency
Social interactions have always been a bit of a difficult thing for me. I think I have a natural tendency to make people not 100 percent super comfortable.
best bit surprised version
Once in a while, I do these things that would make the 10-year old version of me laugh. I don't know why. You've got to do something a little bit immature. I'm surprised at how often those are my best ideas.
becomes enjoying next sure
It's weird. I don't really have goals. I just try to make sure I'm enjoying what I'm doing. Once I start to get sick of it, the next thing becomes obvious.
felt money stocks trade
I used to trade stocks online, and I kind of felt gross, like, all I'm doing is making money off other people's creativity, and I'm not creating anything myself.
articulate consider funny laughing people seem situations slow stuff surprised time
I seem to get into situations that make people laugh, but I don't consider myself that funny of a person. I'm not witty. I'm kind of slow in conversations. I'm not that articulate with jokes. The first time I made stuff and screened it for an audience, I was surprised what people were laughing at.
good type zone
The type of thing that one person would get mad at, another person would laugh at, is a good kind of zone to be in.
best comedy funnier genuinely good happen trying
It's much funnier when the comedy can happen with me just trying my best to genuinely do a good thing.
absurd great insane life sound
In life, a lot of great ideas sound insane or absurd at first.
funny love older
If I find something funny and make an older woman laugh, I love that for some reason.
time
I'm not into things that feel like a sequel. There's just something magical about when something happens for the first time.
business
I have a business background. I have always wanted to open my own business.
dramas saw time
Dramas make me laugh. The other day, I saw 'The Place Beyond the Pines,' and I was giggling the whole time. I laugh when I'm uncomfortable.
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.
