I don't think my acting was ever bad; I always knew that I could do it. But when you go to audition for a drama, they're very serious in the room, and I was used to being kind of goofy and having small talk.

To really be on stage and not know what you're going to say, and to be able to say something that makes people laugh, or do something that's sort of abstract or off the beaten path and have people connect to it by just putting your ideas together, that really makes me happy.

I like America. I think it's pretty cool. I got into acting to avoid politics of any sort, and so I could remain in a fantasy world.

It always surprised me that I was getting acting work.

I have to paint at least two times a week, and there's not enough time in the day to do everything.

I've been a weirdo since I was a kid.

The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she's not just annoying. It's that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn't have time because she has so much going on in her brain.
