love people
I love mispronunciations. I love when people mispronounce things.
aspect fun love nature respect satire target understand
By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.
figure love matter movies theater understand watch
It doesn't matter to me if I'm in love with my performance, so I watch all of my performances to understand and learn from them and figure out what's working and what's not. And I see the movies that I'm in in the theater a lot.
crazy love work
I love writing but not crazy meticulous/prepared enough to be a director. I'd work as a gaffer on something.
hard work
You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.
imagined
To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.
funny improvise
Most things I get hired on, I get hired because I improvise something funny, or they just think I look weird.
It's always fun to agree to be in a movie when you have no idea what it's actually going to be!
I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.
I think it is very important to be a method actor.
good mostly quite
I don't really know how to act that much. I'm quite good at comedy, but it's mostly acting naturally.
everybody network
Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut.
I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.
time
Every time I could possibly be doing stand up, I am.
