bit chose exciting pilots seemed straight
I chose to do that show over other pilots because it seemed like something different and a little bit more exciting than a straight sitcom.
movies
I had fun doing a lot of low-budget movies and web series. And I got back into stand-up where I started.
agents coolest happening mom
I told my agents that I didn't want to go on the audition. But as that was happening I called my mom, who has been watching the show from the beginning, and my mom said, 'It's the coolest show. You have to go.'
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.
auditions coming london nine picked pilot
I went out on auditions because I didn't know if I was coming back on '24,' and then my pilot got picked up, so I was in London for nine weeks.
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.
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.
acting
It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.
character people brain
The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she's not just annoying. It's that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn't have time because she has so much going on in her brain.
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.'
kids weirdo
I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.
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.
