I've always lived in a city.

Writers tend to hate recurring characters; there's this writer snob thing about it. But I don't have that. I feel like the challenge is always to find a cool and innovative way to do it and, obviously, to not repeat your jokes.

Losing yourself in the character opens you up in a way that no amount of precise preparation can.

Be tenacious. Get as much stage time as possible.

Comedy's been really liberating for me because I've been able to sneak the singing part in through the back door.

I actually like character work, so for me, generally speaking, I enjoy it. It's a little bit more of a comfortable suit you put back on. You can explore it and have fun with it and push the limits of it.

I love people who try to keep the world in control - because the world is inherently not in control.
