I just want to do good work.

I've always gotten a positive reaction to doing African-American characters.

It makes you more open, it gives you perspective, having a child

I love documentaries, I like observing real people.

Every character I do is based on someone I know.

I loved the late Gilda Radner. I love Carol Burnett and Lily Tomlin.

I don't get very involved in the L.A. scene. When you do get invited out, you are expected to be on all the time. It's just wearying.
