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.
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.
strong careers people
People want to consume what you're putting out there, and you can create a really strong following of fans and admirers, and people who are invested in your career and your comedy.
thinking people stuff
I like to think that the stuff I do is oftentimes collaborative, so to have other people in it felt natural.
real people acting
In real life, you care about other people, but at the end of the day you're like, "I'm acting upon whatever it is that I want or need."
people doubt guests
No doubt there are people who are our guests [ in Oh, Hello] who are more famous, but to me, Mel Brooks is the most famous person. So that was really cool.
emo people phases
I'm sure there are people who say like, "I was wearing weird emo eyeliner," but there's something pretty embarrassing about the jazz phase.
people goal able
In general in comedy, there are fewer people making a ton of money and a lot more people making a living. For me, the goal is just being able to make exactly the show I wanted to make.
nice knowing people
One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it.
people gentle
You want to be gentle with the people you're working with if you know them.
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.
