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.
fun people internet
It's such a thing now, people making fun of other people on the Internet.
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.
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.
people want expenses
I want people to like me but not at my expense.
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.'
outlook-on-life people mets
I've had experiences in my life where I've met certain people that have opened up something in me and given me hope and a new outlook on life.
thinking tv-shows people
I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.
people different growing
I always want to keep growing and keep surprising people, and showing them different parts of me.
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.
brain needs good-enough
I'm totally an anxious mess all the time. There's a constant dialogue going on in my brain, and it's just reminding me of all the failures that I have had, and all of the things I need to do, and all of the things I'm not doing good enough.
jobs love-you laughing
With stand-up, it doesn't matter who you are. If the audience claps because they love your movies, that clapping stops after five seconds, and then it's your job to make them laugh.
writing hardest hard
Writing is hard - writing is the hardest.
