I actually do enjoy the Kardashians' show, and I know that other people do enjoy it, but at the same time, they want to make fun of it. Like, I know that girls are watching that show - I'm just the only one courageous enough to say it. Other people are courageous in acts of war, but I'm courageous in my love for the Kardashians.
Pageants are already ridiculous and sad, I think.
My mom always worked, and I certainly don't want to look back and think, 'Well, I don't have kids, but I'm glad I did that sitcom.'
My mom's brother was gay, and he actually passed away from AIDS when I was 13. He was quite a character, but he also worked at the electrical plant, so he was this complicated guy with a big laugh who would wear a trucker hat and do impressions. He was gay, but to me, Uncle Alan was just the funniest person in the world.
The alternative comedy scene is actually pretty small, I guess.
With agents, I've learned to bring them into the process when I feel confident. You're the only one that can really know what's right for your career. You're on a wing and a prayer through most of it.
What I think is funny is when people, despite tragic situations, are still hopeful, still trying. It's sweet and sad - and, to me, hilarious.
I have never turned to my girlfriend and said, Oh, okay, babe, and I see it in scripts all the time.
I guess funny people are attracted to funny people, and then you get comedy marriages.
To clarify, the issue isn't that I'm too fat, it's that I'm too phat. Can I get a WHAT-WHAT!
I went to drama school at NYU for serious acting. So I was doing Chekov and Sam Shepard plays.
Is it normal to make a minute-to-minute schedule for the timing of thanksgiving? I'm asking for a friend.
It's always great to get to do what you love and to do something that hopefully people will see and love.
When you move to New York, especially, you feel like you need to be something.
