It's important that this character is played real, or straight, the whole way through and not winking at the audience. It was approached from a dramatic side as much as a comedic side.
When I first started doing sketch comedy, I promised myself that if I were ever to have any success in this business, I wouldn't hold back. Why get there and play it safe?
I would love to play Simon Cowell in a movie - heck, I would love it. It would be my dream role.
It's very easy for me to play silly, but to reveal something closer to you, that's so much harder.
When I was ten, I wrote an essay on what I would be when I grew up and said I would be a professional soccer player and a comedian in off season.
I think a lot of the instincts you have doing comedy are really the same for doing drama, in that it's essentially about listening. The way I approach comedy, is you have to commit to everything as if it's a dramatic role, meaning you play it straight.
Booneville shot the ball well but that's not against the rules. We stepped into the hornets' nest a little bit tonight. We didn't play bad but Booneville played better and they got after us.
We really need to cut down on our own mistakes, use our heads, and start playing with discipline. Our success is predicated off of our defense. When we complete our tackles and capitalize on our opponent's mistakes, our offense benefits.
It was a really good day for us. We played a top squad and really dominated. It was the perfect warm-up match -- they put a good side on the field, and we responded.
It's a hard process. But we go with what the coaches have seen over the course of two days and eight or nine games. They give us input on whom they think has played the best.
We played with intensity and we're a good team when we play this way.
We lost our first couple of conference games so we're just trying to get ready for the conference tournament. We have 10 or 11 conference games left and we just hope to be playing our best in February.
You always want to do a good job and hopefully, I won't be in something that looks and feels like I'm in over my head.
