There's a sense of entitlement and isolationism that I think is really dangerous, and the way globalization and technology have been used isn't really for the best.
I love guys and the way they think; they're so straightforward - and women can learn from that.
You know, I grew up on romantic comedies, and it's hard to find a new way to tell that story.
There's no better way to process pain than to write.
I'm a comedy geek so anything comedy related, whether that's standup shows, improv shows, I'm all over that. That's my favorite way to be entertained always.
Comedy is like music, and the way to make the best music is to have skilled musicians in your band.
Good rom-coms have some reflection of the way things are, the sign of the times.
The school reassured us that everything would be replaced.
I've been really lucky thus far with acting, in that I can do things I believe in and feel good about, and feel good about myself. If for some reason one day that ends, I won't do it anymore. If I feel like I have to compromise myself to continue to be in this industry, I don't want to do that.
Control the public's perception of you and nobody will care if you have any talent.
I thought they were trying to put it out. I couldn't tell you how quickly it happened. I was so traumatized that this whole thing had happened.
I didn't expect anything, but the community really responded. Cell phones, clothes, blankets, pillows . . . anything you could think of, they gave to us. Everyone was really supportive about it and offered encouraging words.
The driver pulled over. After taking a look at what happened, the driver ordered everyone to get off of the bus. So, we're just standing there and at first we saw a little flame. Then it began to spread.
I did a lot of theater in school. I thought maybe I wanted to go to law school or be a judge or a politician. And then I just kind of got smitten by the process of rehearsal and working with other actors and those kinds of challenges. And then comedy.
