In high school, my goal was to be a writer for SNL, then I got into the acting.

I like the idea of capturing people who aren't there to save the world.

There's too much insecurity on studio sets, with all the people standing around, whispering.

I love anything to do with ventriloquism and magic.

My passion lies in amazing, complex characters and really well-written stuff - not to say I wouldn't want to do a comedy if the right comedy came along... I'm an actor in Los Angeles, and I have a family I have to support.

As a kid, I drew comics. I had curly hair. I liked to joke, but I was kind of nervous about it at first until it was coaxed out of me.

I realized women and humor were linked very closely.

Comedy was a secret want, but it wasn't anything I pursued.
