I started doing regional theater. My first job was "The Importance of Being Earnest" at Dallas Theater Center.

Sometimes you just can't hear yourself. Maybe ears are too close to the mouth.

I always like to be a step ahead of the audience by surprising them and the best way to do that is to not hold back.

At my wedding, my bridesmaids said, "You're the funniest person we've ever met." I hope I make people laugh, I hope I make people feel comfortable. I like to go out and have a good time. I don't take myself too seriously. I never have. This is all one spinning granite planet, and I'm lucky I get to act and do what I love. Life is good. I'm not going to compete for attention. You find that a lot in Hollywood with actresses, where you're just like, "Just chill out.".

I'm a huge fan of Jessica Lange and 'American Horror Story.' I would love to work with her. She's been one of my favorite actresses for a while.

In the South, you don't say exactly what's going on or what's on your mind.

Ultimately, I don't think you can teach a tone-deaf person how to sing. Some talents you're just born with, unfortunately.
