I did karate for a really long time, almost 10 years when I was younger.
Most people I work with are older than me and the main thing I've learnt is that everyone is a dumb as an 18-year-old.
I read the script [ of 'Steve Jobs' movie ], and it was very, very good. I wasn't sure they would want me to be in the movie, but I auditioned for it. Which I hadn't done in a few years. But I had auditioned in the previous few years for another movie that I did not get the part. And so my track record wasn't good. But I really wanted to audition because I was worried that I was going to blow it, and I wanted it to be on them for choosing me.
It is always exciting when you find someone who is really enthusiastic about being half of a comedy team.
My mom's a social worker, and my dad works in non-profit organisations.
Trying to constantly get yourself into movies is extremely stressful and sometimes just impossible.
You don't often see fight scenes with people who have no idea how to fight.
With me, I probably work a lot more than people assume I do, but people don't realize how much work goes into writing and producing and making a movie.
The good thing about L.A. is that there's always someone more famous 100 yards away from me.
There is a certain security in having a great supporting cast.
People recognise me and come up to me sometimes, but I'm not like George Clooney.
I've seen a lot of movies get made where no one has control. No one likes it.
I first did standup at a lesbian bar. I didn't know it was a lesbian bar at the time, but the lesbians loved me. I was huge among the lesbians and am to this day. I'm thrilled with the lesbian support.
Luckily, I think, I never really wanted to be famous, I just wanted to make movies.
