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.
funny-inspirational tough full-of-yourself
Interviewing is tough, especially if you don't know what you're looking for.
tired writing sick
Right now I'm sick of acting, so it's like, maybe I'll do writing for a bit. Then, when I'm tired of writing, I'll go work on my music. When I'm sick of music, I'll be like, I'm going to start performing comedy now. So it's good. It's not like I want to be famous or anything.
nice thinking people
I think sometimes people forget how to be nice to people. I try not to let it get to me.
mean people rude
Even when I'm stressed out I'm not mean to people. I'm not constantly rude to people. But sometimes people are so rude.
thinking people be-kind
I think I have an obligation to be kind to people in general, otherwise I'll feel crappy about myself.
life-is-too-short what-if wonder
Life is too short to be wondering, 'What if?'
cynical heart love negative wary
Being cynical isn't necessarily being negative or bitter. It's a person who is wary of mistaking love for something that it's not and getting their heart broken.
comic couple good kid
I actually don't read comic books. I did when I was a kid - I used to read a lot of 'X-Men' comic books. I read a couple 'Scott Pilgrim' this past year, and those are really good, but I don't read in general, unfortunately.
film personal-life
I would never sign up to film my personal life.
love-is confusing beast
Compatibility is weird. Love is confusing. Love is one wild beast.
thinking ideas laughing
I do a little improv in my shows. Kind of like our movie, I'll do beats and ideas of dialogue, but I think there's less pressure because it's a live show. If you mess up, the audience laughs because we don't really know what we're doing. But as far as shooting, that was very scary, trying to make a point and drive the film. It definitely helped improvising.
simple creating-things people
So many people get deals, so many YouTubers get scripts and things made because they're constantly creating things on their own. Even if it's really cheap and it's really simple, if it's just good in itself then that's all that matters.
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.
