I think things get a lot better after high school. I think the ones that struggle during that time tend to have better experiences after.
In real life, my son had a little injury a couple of years ago where we had moved into a new house and he put his hand through a glass window and it cut him really badly. Thank god he had surgery and repaired everything, but I remember I felt frozen I was so scared, and then I realized I was holding my hand just because his hand was hurt.
I do make a conscious effort to not repeat old patterns, instead of being like, But they don't want me! I haven't always been that way.
I've got wonderful people I get to work with, and I'm trying to focus on that, instead of worrying about, Aw, who doesn't want to work with me? You focus on the ones who do.
I'm healthy, I have beautiful children and a beautiful life. I don't want to go toward negative stuff because I'm scared.
I certainly struggled when I was little and didn't have an easy time, so I try to put that stuff in my work.
I don't want to do something, if I don't feel like I can do a good job serving the material.
Most comedians come from a dark past and have a lot of sadness.
I barely have time to watch stuff that I'm in, or my friends' stuff. The bar for writing has really elevated and it's really exciting, it's not just parts for 25-year-olds.
You can make the audience laugh, be funny and sad at the same time.
When I was on 'Saturday Night Live,' all I did was work.
The love of a parent, that connection, it's eternal.
I'm very driven by writing.
I definitely have loads of respect for writers and the art of writing.
