It's funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that's really funny, and I'll get, like, a million views.

I never went to acting school, so improv was my training. Just being quick on your feet helps in everyday life.

If you really want to be successful in the business, you have to make that your priority, above family and everything else. It takes up every minute of your life.
