I've always wanted to work in comedy. ”

I think everyone at times feels awkward, like they don't fit in. But I was lucky to have super-cool parents who reminded me to embrace what makes you special - that you shouldn't want to blend in with everybody. ”

With movies, you come and go as an actor, especially if you are not the lead, from week to week. You don't really have a lot of time to get to know anyone, and then on to the next thing. I know a lot of actors who find fulfillment in playing an entirely new character. I like to stick with one character and create a family with the people around me. ”

Even if you're working a day-to-day job in the meantime to support your creative endeavors, you shouldn't give up, and make sure you don't lose focus. ”

In theater, you really work out the kinks and figure out exactly what you want to do and what we want to say, so by the time we have an audience, we're really prepared. With TV, you have a day... Sometimes, just a few hours. ”

I try to work out at the least 3 days a week, and I aim for 4 to 5 days a week. I try to eat healthy, but I'm not going to say I'm best the best at that. I won't allow myself to buy junk food, but if it's somewhere and it's free, I'll eat it. ”

I love working in television and in comedy, so whenever there's an opportunity to work on a TV sitcom, I'm like, 'Yes please!' ”

I've recently discovered Cardiobar. It's in L.A. and it has Cardio Aerobics. It's all women with no shoes on, dancing to upbeat music. I'm just dripping sweat at the end of the class. It's very fun for me, and it makes me want to work out. ”
