In my early 20s, I didn't even know what the Groundlings was. I had no idea. But I know how to break down a script and work on the character.

Jeff Kinney is tall and has a great smile, but dont be fooled, hes as slick as they come. A real player. And how he came up with a book that appeals to kids ages 8-13 baffles me. Hes an unbelievably kind man with a great family.

When I moved to New York out of college, that was my goal. To be a stage actress. And to do dramatic works. Like Madea, and Night, Mother, and Sam Shepard, and all that kind of stuff. Thats what I really wanted to do.

I feel like I work on scripts for comedy as well as dramatic stuff the same.

I love doing sitcoms. I love doing comedy. I love the whole shooting match.
