You definitely have to be focused at certain times in your life and in your career, but at the end of the day, there's only so much you can do. Then you just have to chock it up to fate.
Skylar AstinI always separate myself from reviews, but tweets and Instagram comments, they go directly to my phone. It's hard to keep up.
Skylar AstinThe thing about a pick-up line is, even if it works, then what? I just figure you unapologetically be yourself, and if it works, cool.
Skylar AstinI worked on dramas before, I love sinking my teeth into something dramatic or a period piece, but there's something so fun about doing a comedy. When you go to set and your only job is to make people laugh, there's an unbelievable energy on set.
Skylar AstinI cannot sing karaoke because it's hard and weird. If I actually tried to sing, I would probably sound good, and I think that's weird and not fun.
Skylar AstinHollywood, young or otherwise, is a very trend-driven town, and that can get a little out of hand at times. I just try to stay true to my own personal taste - incorporating my personality while not taking myself too seriously.
Skylar AstinThe 1990s, in New York at least, were all about who could have the baggiest pants, and I definitely got swept up in that fad. Luckily, it didn't last long - but I've made sure that my pants fit ever since.
Skylar AstinI was open to anything. That doesn't mean I would do anything, it just means I was open to anything. I've met for dramas, single camera comedy, multi-camera comedy. I take each script as an individual project.

Skylar AstinI loved doing Cee Loโs Bright Lights in the Big City. That was definitely a favorite of mine, because I love to get all soulful. And a close second would be Flo Ridaโs Right Round, because I could rap, which Iโve never really done before.

Skylar AstinItโs hard to say. I donโt want to limit myself by saying one thing or another. I couldnโt have imagined the path that these past five years have taken me, so I guess Iโll just give a safe answer and say that I hope to be elected as the president of the United States in 2016.
