I wanted to be a writer for a while. I was an excellent child writer. I won multiple poetry contests. I was published at age three - I think that was more about novelty than my immense talent.

Acting was something I wanted to work at and put the time into.

What you learn in any acting class is how to make a fool of yourself and enjoy things and get out of your head.

Most of my comedy is accidental, I would say. If I don't know what the joke is, I'm going to play it better than if I do.

I don't need to be crazy rich and crazy famous. I would just like to keep going.

Both of my parents were incredibly supportive of me being in any arts, because they were both in the arts. They weren't the typical story of, "Oh, get a real job. You need to make money." They basically said, "Yup, be an artist. You'll be broke your whole life but you'll be happy."

As you get older and you progress in your career, you start to want to have more control over things and you have ideas.
