My brothers and I always did improv stuff in our basement with our friends; we're super nerds, and that was our way of spending a Friday night.

Clothing and makeup and hair and all of that so much indicates the kind of person you are inside and the person you are presenting on the outside. Sometimes they are in conflict, and sometimes they are the same. That psychology of the exterior informing the interior is just so interesting.

I love nerdy work. I love writing notes. I try to go back, as much as I can, to feed what happens and why they do what they do.

I'm fascinated with psychology, and with why a person walks the way they walk or why they walk into a room the way they do or why we are the way we are, and it's not exclusive to the psychology of a character.

I'm a huge 'Futurama' fan, so that's my closest sci-fi tendency.

For me, comedy literally is way more terrifying than doing drama, so it's always about stretching what I think I can do and putting myself out there in different context.

I grew up in Canada, man - we all had rinks in our backyards because we'd ice down the grass with a hose and build a skating rink.
