Comedy is not supposed to be funny. Its supposed to tell the truth and then that's funny.
Once I finished breastfeeding, my mom's like, 'Don't take that bra off ever!' Mom, thank you. I wore a one-size-too-small bra for like, two years. It helps...! They don't fall, you teach them, you teach them to come back!
I feel like movies should stick to a genre and give the audience what they want, and then surprise them with the unexpected, and not just do the same thing you've always seen.
You just can't take yourself too seriously, especially in comedy.
I really appreciate and respect the audience. People pay their hard-earned money to go watch you, so I feel like it's my job to give 100,000% of myself to what I'm doing.
When you're in your own body, you don't feel great about yourself. I don't think of myself that way.
You just can't take yourself too seriously, especially in comedy. You shouldn't try to be funny, but you should try to be as honest as possible. The extreme end of honesty is usually what's funny. That's your job [as an actor]. You just have to let people see it.
I'm a physical person. That's why I like action movies. I like to get real into it all, and get real down and dirty.
I always like the physical comedy because I actually do a lot of it in my own life, but not on purpose. I am the klutziest person on the planet. It's easy for me.
When people have eating disorders, they can't actually see what they truly look like because they're so clouded with their emotions. Read more at: https://tr.im/4ZtN7
If you have the capacity to love, you have the capacity to love anyone.
No matter how you look, we all hurt the same, cry the same, and feel joy the same.
I don't try to intellectualize characters too much. But I always think of the audience. I always make sure that my characters are likeable.
Maybe at the core of me, I'm a survivor, but I don't do it on purpose. Sometimes, in acting of course with your performance, some of your own personal character seeps through. My performance goal has always been to perform for the audience. People pay their hard earned money, and so I always desire to give all of myself in every single scene.
