sexy want way
What makes all those women sexy? Were they just born sexy? I guess it's the way they act. I don't want to have to act sexy. I just want to be me, and if I don't happen to be sexy, oh well. That's OK. I don't want to force something I'm not.
moving taken talking
It's interesting to see what people who you find talented come up with, so you work with them. Sometimes ideas come along quicker cause they'll come up with something and you'll be like, "It would have taken me forever to get to that point!" Because you're talking together, your brains are moving faster.
hurt thinking lasts
I think you have to be careful about not hurting someone. The last thing I'd want to do is make a fool of someone, unless they saw the humor in it.
kids problem realizing
Throughout my whole life money has always been a problem. But I didn't realize that we were poor when we were kids!
nice thinking people
I think sometimes people forget how to be nice to people. I try not to let it get to me.
thinking ideas twists
The idea of surprise is part of what makes something funny, or what gets a reaction. At least when I'm an audience member, after you hear a joke so many times it's not as funny because it loses its surprise or its twist. So I think funny has to do with surprise.
thinking care how-you-feel
I think actions really do define how you feel, as opposed to just saying, "I care about you" or "I want to be with you."
children world helping
I'd love to help the entire world. Even to change the life of one child is amazing.
funny-inspirational tough full-of-yourself
Interviewing is tough, especially if you don't know what you're looking for.
want-something glasses nerd
I wear glasses because I don't want something tugging my eyeball, but I wouldn't consider myself a "nerd." I don't know what really makes someone a nerd.
thinking serious truth-is
I think whatever comes natural is probably the truth, and the truth is the strongest form of anything - whether serious or funny.
thinking people negativity
The internet's weird. It's kind of harvesting the negativity. I think negativity has always been out there, but because people are hiding behind the screen, they feel able to express these hateful feelings they've maybe been keeping inside.
trying-everything done causes
Sometimes I feel really bad for the audience. I don't know how to make them happy. And you just feel drained cause you're trying everything possible to turn things around. And sometimes it is possible to turn things around on stage, and I've done it before, but sometimes it's impossible.
sleep thinking battle
I feel like I get really energetic and hyper. If I do well in a show, I can't sleep afterwards. If I don't do well, I get kinda drained. I think because it's like a battle on stage.
