We're all alone in this world.
I very rarely listen to music in my car - a lot of people make fun of me for it. But sometimes I listen to music on YouTube. I'm like a teenager.
NBC gives comedies a chance to find their legs.
The main fun of being an actor is that you get to bounce around to a lot of different worlds.
I've always wanted to work with Elizabeth Banks. She's so talented and funny, and she's become this force of nature - directing, producing. Being around her is kind of inspiring.
It feels kind of naughty when you're swearing on set and you know it's gonna make it in unbleeped on the show.
You know it's a good show when you involve fire and dolls and unitards.
I've gotten super into restaurants in L.A., so I try to go to different restaurants all the time that's a good way to explore L.A.: you can drive to a restaurant and discover a new neighborhood.
In Los Angeles, sometimes it's hard to find a magazine stand, let alone one that has the magazine that you want. So I find that the longer I live in L.A., the more digitally I consume.
It's funny shooting movies because you get to see clubs during daylight hours, which no one should ever see - it's not pretty; there's a reason the lighting is dim in there.
I like the 'Moth' podcast a lot. I listen to that.
I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.
Acting by yourself is pretty darn hard, especially having to do physical comedy.
I've been getting into drinking smoothies in the morning - I like those a lot.
