My family is not at all involved in television, or film, or theatre, or any of it, really.

I have a very hard time with confrontation in my own life, and I end up being way too nice.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they're religious.

A lot of times I play the villain or the comic relief, and I get to kind of play the comic relief to a degree, which is fun, but I also get to say, "You are created in the image in God. You are a perfect child of God. And this part of you is the heart of who you are. You're not alone, and you're okay just the way you are."

I grew up in the Southern Baptist Church, where my father was a minister at music, so I sang in the church all the time.

I find more of an authenticity in people who are a little strange - so I really like characters who are just the tiniest bit weird. I find enormous comfort in that - someone who's kind of normal just doesn't feel as true.

I've done so many television pilots. I've done eleven I think and I've never had one get picked up. There was never one that I was a guest star on. It's just fascinating, but I don't think it would be fun to be recognized all the time.
