Aubrey Plaza quotes about
sarcastic mean sarcasm
Sarcasm is weird. Even not in acting, in life I feel 'sarcastic' is a word that people use to describe me sometimes so when I meet someone, it's almost they feel they have to also be sarcastic, but it can sometimes just come off as mean if it's not used in the right way.

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.

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.
thinking talking people
I have a way of dealing with situations where I come off awkward, or people think I’m purposely trying to make things uncomfortable. But normally I’m talking really slowly or there’s a lot of silence because there’s just nothing going on. I’m just totally freaking out, but from the outside perspective it looks like I’m in control.
people ifs
My people would love it if I smiled more, if I was more 'approachable.'

I'm not super comfortable in my skin. I have to make it work for me, and that usually amounts to making it uncomfortable for everyone else.
laughing steps silent
When you improvise, you work off the laughs from the audience, but when you step on stage to do standup, it's silent.
people different growing
I always want to keep growing and keep surprising people, and showing them different parts of me.
world weirdo okay
If you feel like a weirdo, it's okay because weirdos rule the world.
decision would-be ifs
Make all your decisions based on how hilarious it would be if you did it.
