Nobody knows how long you're going to have life on Earth, so you really have to work at being joyous and happy.

I think people pick up on that. You use personal stuff and mix it all in - I definitely pull on that stuff in my acting.

I barely have time to watch stuff that I'm in, or my friends' stuff. The bar for writing has really elevated and it's really exciting, it's not just parts for 25-year-olds.

Sometimes a fan comes up to me, and I'm really interested in how they're acting, so I'll study them and use that in my material.

I went to drama school at New York University.

I've got wonderful people I get to work with, and I'm trying to focus on that, instead of worrying about, Aw, who doesn't want to work with me? You focus on the ones who do.

I do make a conscious effort to not repeat old patterns, instead of being like, But they don't want me! I haven't always been that way.
