I learned that a television show is not a collaboration. You give your 180 percent, but you do not question the show-runners. I remember doing a reading, and my part was kind of small that week, and I commented on it, and the next week, they cut me out of the show. So I learned that you never ask questions. In TV, you always assume you're going to be fired.

I loved the idea of the Nerd as Hero, which Ghost World also had.

I love anything to do with ventriloquism and magic.

I'm a big fan of Albert Brooks, Nichols and May. I'd like to follow in their footsteps and do comedy films.

I like the idea of capturing people who aren't there to save the world.

I want to be an animated character. I'm also doing more writing and directing.

I enjoy doing independent films more, only because there's more freedom. There's not as many cooks tampering with what you are trying to do.
