Acting by yourself is pretty darn hard, especially having to do physical comedy.
I always want to do something I haven't done before and get to work with other actors, writers, or directors that I want to work with.
I always had an easier time with adults. Somehow, I was always old! I still feel old.
Dan Harmon has this idea that characters on TV are allowed to talk about their favorite movies and TV shows and songs.
A lot of my friends are guys, so I'm used to bro antics.
I like the 'Moth' podcast a lot. I listen to that.
There were definitely bands and musicians I liked that drove my mother insane. I probably liked them all the more for it! Bjork drove my mom nuts. What I listened to was actually pretty mom-friendly for the most part. I wasn't very rebellious.
I used to like to make myself sad, so I would listen to Bill Callahan as Smog.
Rather than just becoming embittered by your friends' success, I think it can motivate you.
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.
I've thought a lot about how if something horrible happened, and if it were like 'The Road' situation, I've decided I don't want to survive past the death of society as we know it.
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.
There's no right one way to go through life.
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.
