I got into acting in high school mainly because I wasn't doing anything else and started to hit a few bumps in the road. And there was a conference with my parents who said either you find something to do with your time or we will. And so, I don't know why I thought this was the thing to do, but I went to audition for the school play.
When you're trying to coordinate four separate shows together, it's pretty Herculean.
I've resigned myself to the fact that the world needs clowns, too, and I was born to be one of them. And it is an important role in our society to play. I try to embrace the silliness of it.
It's hard to fit everything in and still have episodic television.
My family was not an artistic family, but somewhere in my head, I thought I might be good at it. I don't know why I thought it. I had no evidence to think I might be good at it.
I'm definitely one of the more fortunate ones when it comes to being in the right place at the right time.
