Nutella. I dig my spoon in and eat it straight out of the jar. I can easily go through one a week.
Turns out, I couldn't catch them - or even get close to them. I realized that sharks are amazing, beautiful animals who have absolutely no interest in checking me out.

If I can, then great, it will open up those doors and just prove to other directors and peers that I am, in fact, available for things other than comedy.
It's so funny because you think you're attracted to this bad boy. They do whatever they want, but you don't really want that. You don't want someone who's out on a tour bus, sleeping around with different people and getting wasted.
