ideas numbers people
I like the idea of people getting to know you from different angles and then realizing "That guy is also that guy!" "Oh, he does that!" I really like having a number of different ways to reach people.
ideas trying one-day
For me, I was literally trying to stay afloat. I never actually thought I would get my own sketch show. So the idea that one day I would have my own show is pretty wild. But once I got it, I thought, 'Yeah, this is exactly what I always wanted to do.
ideas people waiting
There's just a feeling, when you're just an actor - I have great admiration for people who are just actors. I don't understand it, the idea of waiting to get cast, being at the whim of others. I find it incredibly powerless and frightening, so that's why I've been constantly trying to create my own content.
way tvs it-takes-time
My experience in TV is that it takes time for shows to find their way.
crazy character emotional
For me, the best characters are the ones that feel fully formed inside and out, so I try to have a very clear vision of exactly what they would wear, top to bottom, who they are, what their backstory is, what their family situation is, who are their friends, just creating as much of a three-dimensional character [as possible]. Because I think you could do a very broad character, but as long as there's some emotional truth to them you can get away with really crazy things.
suffering kitchen sometimes
Sometimes shows suffer from having many cooks in the kitchen.
cheesy sound comedy
I know it's going to sound cheesy, but I love show business. I love doing comedy, I love that I get to do all this with my friends.
play
I tend to play sort of douchey.
that-one-person littles pieces
A lot of times, you're circling around a lot of things, and then you find that one person, or that little piece of dialogue, and it doesn't always have to be in person.
car littles public-life
In L.A., you really are in your car all day alone, and there's very little public life.
firsts week judged
What business would judged on the first week that it's in business?
jobs people boss
A job is a job, and there are days that are going to be boring, or you have a boss you don't like, or people you work with.
thinking fans building
I think that the web and its various facets are incredibly useful in just building a fan base and getting your chops better.
everyday genius way
Seinfeld has his way of telling jokes - and I'm not comparing myself to Seinfeld, his genius is observing the small details of everyday life and finding humor in it.
