based tip
My stand-up has always been very character-based. I'm not really the kind of person that's like, 'Hey, here's what's on my mind! Tip your waitress!' I would create the jokes based on the character I was playing. It was always a performance-based thing for me.
avoid politics remain sort
I got into acting to avoid politics of any sort so I could remain in a fantasy world.
love performing time
I always love performing live, and that's what I was doing that started getting me acting parts, so I still find time do it.
movies
I had fun doing a lot of low-budget movies and web series. And I got back into stand-up where I started.
board somebody
I read a fan bulletin board once, and somebody said I had a face like a potato, so I never went back on there.
born months next people period time wonderful
I'm doing stand-up comedy. I'm working on a one-woman show about how I don't like my baby. There is a period of time where a baby is born where the next 3 months is harrowing. A lot of people say it's the most wonderful time, but for me it was harrowing.
ideas off-the-beaten-path laughing
To really be on stage and not know what you're going to say, and to be able to say something that makes people laugh, or do something that's sort of abstract or off the beaten path and have people connect to it by just putting your ideas together, that really makes me happy.
player nhl way
I need to see where I am physically and practicing with NHL players is the best way to find that out.
confusion world ends
I personally have a background of many days on end of confusion, understimulation, overstimulation, and uncomfortableness with the world around me.
drama thinking acting
I don't think my acting was ever bad; I always knew that I could do it. But when you go to audition for a drama, they're very serious in the room, and I was used to being kind of goofy and having small talk.
thinking work-out exhausted
I'm not married and I don't think that's going to work out for me. I'm not even bitter, I'm just exhausted.
kids weirdo
I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.
jobs air tables
When you go to auditions, pretend you already have the job and you're just presenting - almost like you're at the table read. Don't go in with an air of, 'Please like me,' or, 'Please hire me.' You're like, 'Here's my take on it. Take it or leave it. I've got a lot of other things to do today.'
simple simple-happiness happens
There is always the personal, simple happiness that doesn't happen.
