Auditions are not a natural environment, and you feel judged, even though everyone is just excited to find the right person.

Going back is a nice way to give definition to each of the characters because they are so vastly different. I would never want them to get blended together.

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.

We do long-form-style improv. Our focus was characters and telling a long arc story over about an hour and a half. It was closer to a one-act play than one-off sketches.

I think the fact that my parents are still, "Hey, great, that's great!" and not, "We need you to do this and be a star!" - it was never like that. My mom's a translator, my dad's a woodworker; that's the world I grew up in, that's the world I'm most comfortable in. The whole idea of Hollywood or any of that other stuff that unfortunately goes along with film, that wasn't part of my upbringing, thankfully.

So much of how you look at yourself in the mirror reflects how you feel about yourself, and how you comport yourself.

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.
