character play draws
There are always parts of me that come out in the characters that I play - it's the only thing I have to work with and to draw off of.
smart character interesting
The female love interest is boring to me. A female that's interesting, smart, funny - that's what I'm drawn to. I wouldn't say that every character has to be smart, but she has to have one trait I can relate to.
school role-models laughing
The only pressure comes form myself. I put pressure on myself at first just because I was intimidated. When I made Amy Poehler laugh, it was a big thing for me. She's been one of my role models since high school, because she started UCB, which is what I wanted to do since high school.
writing hardest hard
Writing is hard - writing is the hardest.
sex people preparation
I have an acting coach that I work with on everything that I do. The thing about my preparation process for getting ready for a role is I have sex with as many people as I can.
emotional acting way
I'm not a super emotional person, so that's one reason I love acting - it makes me deal with myself in that kind of way.
needs draws i-can
I've felt depressed many times in my life, so I can draw on those times in my life when I need to.
fun people internet
It's such a thing now, people making fun of other people on the Internet.
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.
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.
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.
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.
jobs fun thinking
Having to stand in front of an audience and have it be your job to make them laugh, you can't really look to anyone but yourself. It's what you wrote, what you said and how you said it, so it's kind of terrifying, but I liked it. When it goes well, it's the best feeling in the world. When it doesn't go well, it's the worst feeling, but once you get into the rhythm of it, I think it's really fun.
