People will go into an audition and a casting situation, and they'll see someone across the room that's perhaps slightly famous, or famous, and they think, 'Oh God, I'm not gonna get the part.'

I started performing in high school. There was a pretty great drama department at my school, and that’s when I started doing plays and musicals.

I really love being a character actor. I have to say I wish it were a little easier. There are still a lot of things that I don’t get, like I do wish I had more of my own...

I feel more comfortable when I’m somebody else, I think. When I’m taking a picture as myself, the whole idea of taking a headshot, to me, feels very false.

I’ve done so many television pilots. I’ve done eleven I think and I’ve never had one get picked up. There was never one that I was a guest star on. It’s just fascinating, but I don’t think it would be fun to be recognized all the time.

I’m really tall – almost six feet – and my features tend to be extreme, especially on TV.

My family is still very Southern Baptist, and they’re religious.

There was a male sketch group in my college. I was like why isn’t there a female sketch group? So then I started doing sketch comedy and all that stuff. It just happened.

It’s so fun to do theater, because as opposed to television, you just keep doing it again and again and again – every night. Sometimes it lands beautifully, and sometimes it lands just beside of it. It’s like throwing a horseshoe. It’s great fun.

I grew up in Middle America and I don’t think my family was very funny, but I watched ‘The Princess Bride.’ I always wanted to be an actor. I didn’t know anything about it. I’d never seen any plays or anything and I watched that movie over and over and over again.
