I don't think there's anything more scary than being forced into doing stand-up comedy.

Through working with amazing people, the bar is always raised to do your own best work. I want to be a part of unique stories that are smart, heartfelt, funny and sad, and have a general sense of good quality.

The only thing that I'm not willing to do is really stupid, horribly written sitcoms. It can be tempting during pilot season time, but I realized this a while ago when I almost signed my life away to a stupid pilot.

The best and most talented directors - and I think it goes for people too - are the most confident in giving room to their actors and trusting them.

In stand up every joke is thought about so meticulously, and one word can completely change how the audience responds. You're up there with no safety net; you can't shirk responsibility. It's your thoughts; it's your voice. You can't blame it on the writing, you can't blame it on the editor. You are just up there completely naked.

I can be such a people pleaser, and so worried about what people are thinking or feeling insecure.

As I've grown as a person and gotten to know myself more - the question of how someone becomes who they become has gotten really interesting to me.
