I'm like that person who hates going to magic shows - and I love magic, I love wizards - but going to a show where there is any possibility of audience participation is a nightmare for me.

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

I can't say I follow politics extremely closely, but I'm definitely aware of what's going on in the world.

I'm not super comfortable in my skin. I have to make it work for me, and that usually amounts to making it uncomfortable for everyone else.

I'm not a super emotional person, so that's one reason I love acting - it makes me deal with myself in that kind of way.

Having to stand in front of an audience and have it be your job to make them laugh, you can't really look to anyone but yourself. It's what you wrote, what you said and how you said it, so it's kind of terrifying, but I liked it. When it goes well, it's the best feeling in the world. When it doesn't go well, it's the worst feeling, but once you get into the rhythm of it, I think it's really fun.

There are always parts of me that come out in the characters that I play - it's the only thing I have to work with and to draw off of.
