There is a great degree of comfort with your family when you're on a TV show.

I have a hard time watching people getting punched on screen; I have to close my eyes a lot.

I'd never really done comedy before Community, so getting to work day in and day out with all these great people, directors, writers, and actors, I feel like I've learned a lot.

I also have learned as an actor, this ties in the principles of improv, sometimes someone gives a piece of instruction and my first reaction is "I don't want to do that." I've always learned that every time I just say yes and go for it something happens. Whether it's what the intent of the direction was or not or something new happens. It's just remaining open to other people's ideas.

Boy, you know, it's amazing how your brain can turn into a sieve, and you can literally forget episodes that you have shot.

I had my life Monday through Friday in school, and then I had my 'real life,' which was my acting class on Saturday.

It's really nice when life comes full circle and you get to work with people four years down the line.
