character ideas scripts
In my early 20s, I didn't even know what the Groundlings was. I had no idea. But I know how to break down a script and work on the character.
stuff scripts comedy
I feel like I work on scripts for comedy as well as dramatic stuff the same.
god improvise job work written
See, that's the thing: I'm not one of those actors who thinks, 'God, I've got to improvise and make it my own.' No, my first job as an actor is to take what's written and make it work. And then, if they want me to improvise, I'll do that.
bone constantly funny instinct
I don't have this weird, natural funny bone that constantly comes out. It's not like my every instinct is to be funny, and I'm always having to dampen that down.
foot funny grateful opportunity professors
It's funny, because when I was in college, all my professors said, 'You should do comedy.' And I was like, 'No! No!' But I was able to get my foot in the door through comedy. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to do it.
ages appeals book came family great jeff kids man slick smile tall
Jeff Kinney is tall and has a great smile, but don't be fooled, he's as slick as they come. A real player. And how he came up with a book that appeals to kids ages 8-13 baffles me. He's an unbelievably kind man with a great family.
dealing trying whatever
Whatever the situation at hand, that's what I'm dealing with and trying to be true to it in that moment.
shooting comedy sitcom
I love doing sitcoms. I love doing comedy. I love the whole shooting match.
ohio feelings towns
I grew up in a suburb of Ohio, in a small town, and I resonated with that small-town feeling where everybody knows your business.
fun drama thinking
I love Frances McDormand so much. I love her career. And I think it's fun because she gets to do comedy as well as drama.
thinking people whatever-works
I come from the place of thinking, 'Whatever works for people' - and if you haven't been exposed to anything else, you really don't know better.
people sides comic
I really wanted to do things that weren't comic. It felt like finding people who can see this other side to me.
drama hollies agents
I told my agents that I love Holly Hunter and Frances McDormand and all of these women that are good at doing comedies as well as dramas.
bees fans bigs
I'm a big fan of Samantha Bee's.
