I was really shy growing up. I had braces, headgear, and no boobs - still don't. So, the boys weren't interested in me. The only way I could get attention was by being a goof and a dork, which meant a lot of physical comedy.

I get horrified when I have to do table reads with the whole cast, because there's a lot of stuttering coming from me, so I have to do a lot of prep.

I don't really have an issue with showing certain parts of my body. I'd rather not, but it's not a big deal. Growing up in Sweden, it's natural over there.

I think it's critical in any character you play that it really is about reacting instead of acting. You can always tell when a person is acting.

I think comedy I've learned is really just about relaxing and trusting yourself and allowing yourself to fail.

I really loved making my mom laugh, and I knew that she thought that I was funny. It was really valuable, in my home growing up, to be able to have a chat and participate in a conversation and be funny. Whatever I could do to make my mom laugh could either get me out of trouble or just get me more attention or get me respect in the house.

My comedy comes from pain. I can't stand to see someone hurting.

If you want to laugh, see a comedy. If you want to cry, see a drama, and if you want suspense, see a thriller.
