Growing up the way I did, being an actor in Hollywood was definitely never a plausible career choice at all.

Public libraries were a huge source of comfort and joy for me when I was growing up. I still spend time there.

I really want to work on characters that have a lot of complexity and you don't always get that in comic book movies because they're not character explorations. I have nothing against movies like that, but I do see them as kind of like a cheeseburger.

I'm really into ghost towns. I've driven cross-country the past few summers, and I would stop at some ghost towns along the way. They're like a microcosm of America as a whole.

I love comedy, but I actually do prefer drama because I am already animated as a human being.

I think the way comedy is represented on screen is it's either all fart jokes - and it's just laughter for the sake of laughter - or it's one of those things where it's just kind of very preachy, very heavy-handed.

The best way to describe my work is comedy in a very, very real way. I'm not scared to look silly on camera. I take everyday situations we all go through and put a very real twist on it - things people can relate to.

I was taught by a lot of great comedy writers to go for the reality in a role, and the comedy will come through.
