aspect fun love nature respect satire target understand
By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.
hard work
You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.
imagined
To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.
It's always fun to agree to be in a movie when you have no idea what it's actually going to be!
I think it is very important to be a method actor.
love people
I love mispronunciations. I love when people mispronounce things.
everybody network
Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut.
I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.
time
Every time I could possibly be doing stand up, I am.
anyone harder work
My father really told me, seriously, if you want something, you can have it, but you may have to work harder than anyone else around you.
amount
I drink a fair amount of ramen noodles.
I don't sit and write stand-up material; I come up with an idea onstage.
consider ethical fairly hypocrisy individual victims within
I consider myself a fairly ethical individual while I do have a lot of dichotomies within me. We're all victims of our own hypocrisy at times.
everybody okay scrubs
It's okay to take yourself too seriously if you're a serious actor and you've got the scrubs on. And then with me, it's kind of like, well, I'm a comedian, I'm making fun of everybody and everything. And I'm making fun of myself. I'm having fun making fun of and for other people.
