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.

I try to put my own history in my work.

I've definitely read stuff that I've been offered, where I've been like, "I can't do this. I think somebody would be better in this than me."

If it's not happening, write your own thing!

Most comedians come from a dark past and have a lot of sadness.

I have always loved both drama and comedy.

The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.
