We're living in a world where the response is really instantaneous, even though it's delayed by a few months. It comes at you pretty fast.

I started out as a dancer as a kid; I've been dancing since I was 4. So performing was always part of what I was. I don't know if it I enjoyed the response I got from people or if I liked having an audience, but there's something in me that wanted to perform.

I'm so inspired and stimulated by the work that it doesn't ever feel like work.

I love people, watching people interact. It's a lot of psychology. We learn about ourselves by watching other people's lives on the screen.

Just to be on set with Amy Poehler, who's one of my heroes, was a total dream come true.

I have trouble sleeping, at the end of the night. There's a lot of stimulus and my brain is processing a lot of different arcs and personalities. I'm always processing things, so I don't sleep.

Go with your gut every single time. It’s never, ever wrong. Even if feels like everybody else is telling you that you need to do this or do that. Your gut is your artist and who you are as a person and what makes you special, and what makes you an interesting performer. Never try to be something you’re not.
