There's been no nepotism in my acting artistic life, but I think it's been pretty clear in my writing life. I knew what a pantoum was at age 11 - I knew form - therefore I would win the poetry contest. But I also realized that I would never be a great writer.

You have to be kinder to yourself, because it's a part of being good.

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

You never know what's going to happen, so you just continue with your head down and never expect things to start being handed to you.

Even though I'm on a show that I love with people that I love - I have basically the dream job - that doesn't mean I'm not getting rejected on a daily basis.

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.
