hate stupid mean
I mean, sometimes I hate interviews because I always feel like I sound stupid.
acting sound nerdy
I love great acting, as nerdy as that sounds.
fun people internet
It's such a thing now, people making fun of other people on the Internet.
independent reality film
A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.
thinking hair perspective
I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool.
team school class
When I was in high school I was a really huge 'SNL' fan. I remember the cast around the time I started watching it - Will Ferrell, Ana Gasteyer, Molly Shannon, Cheri O'Teri, Tracy Morgan. I did research to find out how people got on the show. Their bios always said they came from an improv team, so I started taking classes.
ideas lakes ice
I want to go to New Zealand. I have no idea what it's like, and in my head, everyone lives in/on an ice lake, so I'd like to come stay.
new-york uncles philadelphia
I don't have many actors in my family, but I do have a Great Uncle that is a film-maker in Philadelphia, and my great-great-grandparents were Flamenco dancers in the 30's in New York, they were Spanish dancers.
nice book thinking
I think it's nice to get a break from all of the big Hollywood comic book action-movies and see something that's relatable and funny and interesting.
song firsts stage
My first boyfriend that I ever had, actually sang a song that he wrote for me on-stage to ask me out. That was pretty romantic.
character thinking people
Once you do a character in Hollywood and people haven't seen you before, they put you in a box and they think that's all that you can do and it's hard to get people to take a risk on you.
opportunity want roles
I'm going to create my own opportunities. If I can't find the roles I want, I'll just make them.
soul devil my-soul
I sold my soul to the devil. I'd like to thank the devil.
people community working-with-others
Improv is so different, it's such a collaborative thing, you're working with other people, nothing is planned and it's kind of this community mentality, whereas stand-up, you're alone and it was really hard.
