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

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.

All the foundation work you plant in the early seasons pay off in stronger storylines deep into our seasons. I think that only aids in performance.

Those darker sides, the things that we don't want to admit about ourselves - that's what excites me.

You're hot for two seconds, and you're struggling to get work again. If it were easy, I don't think that's a good place for an artist to work from.

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.
