Humor is the most important thing in life. It trumps everything else and it's the only thing that helps me deal with everything else.

There are lots of things that you can go down the list and say, "Oh, these are cliches, we've seen this before, just hits every checkpoint." All of that takes a secondary status for me if I'm reading something and I just really like the characters.

Sometimes you read a script and it's like, "You'll improv and this is just a blueprint of what the scene could be," and that's never a good sign. And it's never encouraging as an actor to take that on, really.

At my core, I'm a Midwesterner.

I don't consider myself a comedian because I don't really concern myself too much with jokes.

We all have different sides of our personalities, so I'd love to play some more different parts too.

Nothing is ever cut-and-dried. There's anguish behind everything.
