I'm UCB trained - I came up learning about game, which is a really big part of the Upright Citizens Brigade theater. They teach you about game, and game in a scene is what makes the scene funny. And oftentimes, it's the character - this is really improv dorky stuff.

I don't have many actors in my family, but I do have a Great Uncle that is a film-maker in Philadelphia, and my great-great-grandparents were Flamenco dancers in the 30's in New York, they were Spanish dancers.

I'm going to create my own opportunities. If I can't find the roles I want, I'll just make them.

I've had experiences in my life where I've met certain people that have opened up something in me and given me hope and a new outlook on life.

I definitely can relate to being down and closed-off at certain times in my life.

A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.

Louis C. K. is one of my all time favorite standup comedians.
