drama thinking comedian
I'm a total one-hour drama addict. I think when you're a comedian, you tend towards dramas because that's the less stressful thing to watch.
moving mixing comedy
There are so many great comedies, right now. I like how comedies are really mixing. They're not just one thing. It can be very moving and dramatic, and yet hilarious.
summer kids smell
As a kid, I was terrified. I was a bed wetter and I had to go to sleepaway camp every summer, which was humiliating and terrifying. I had lots of insecurities and scaredness. I covered it with being funny and tough, but it's hard to be tough when you're making your cot in your bunk over soaking wet sheets and acting like nobody can smell anything.
female nudity
The female nudity in movies is always sexualized.
stupid people jokes
It's really stupid to defend your own jokes. That is for other people to do if they choose to.
smart people want
I don't want to be a facilitator for other funny people. It doesn't seem smart for me to be in a comedy and not be funny. My spirit can't take it.
dream sleep drifting-off
I've always had dreams. When I was little, I'd go to sleep with my head on my hands, which were in fists like I was looking through a camera. I felt like sleep was the movies - just drifting off to the movies.
party gay night
When you're a comic, it's like being born gay. It's what you want to do every night when your other friends are out at night going to parties.
addiction laughing survival
Making my family laugh when I was little - it became an addiction. It was a kind of survival.
beautiful character succeed
If I were somebody else looking at my character, I'd be like, "She's beautiful." I'm practicing. I'm not succeeding.
guy necklaces pedals
I'm personally not into a guy who wears pedal pushers and a necklace.
dad thinking secret
My dad was a bedwetter; I think his dad was a bedwetter. I like to talk about it because it's something that I thought would be my deepest, darkest secret my whole life, and then you become an adult, and it's not.
scary trivia television
Anything television trivia I'm good at. But when you're on your couch, you're really good at it, but when you're standing there, it's probably scary.
cutting people topics
People can't help what topics cut them deep. It all depends on who's inferring - and what the contexts of their lives are at the time.
