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.
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.
writing hardest hard
Writing is hard - writing is the hardest.
hero fey my-hero
Tina Fey is one of my heroes.
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.
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.
