I'm totally an anxious mess all the time. There's a constant dialogue going on in my brain, and it's just reminding me of all the failures that I have had, and all of the things I need to do, and all of the things I'm not doing good enough.
When I'm on the couch, I usually have the TV on and my MacBook Air nearby. And sometimes, when my ADD is really kicking in, I have my iPad too. And my iPhone. And a magazine that I haven't gotten to. And a book under the pillow to my left.
Sarcasm is weird. Even not in acting, in life I feel like 'sarcastic' is a word that people use to describe me sometimes so when I meet someone, it's almost like they feel like they have to also be sarcastic, but it can sometimes just come off as mean if it's not used in the right way.
I'm not super comfortable in my skin. I have to make it work for me, and that usually amounts to making it uncomfortable for everyone else.
I like my name. My mom named me after a song by the 1970s group Bread. So, it's meaningful, and I like the song. It's a love song - kind of - but it's kind of depressing and dark.
When you improvise, you work off the laughs from the audience, but when you step on stage to do standup, it's silent.
I don't let myself 'surf' on the Web, or I would probably drown.
My people would love it if I smiled more, if I was more 'approachable.'
Writing is hard - writing is the hardest.
I get really weird when I'm not working. I have to keep working.
With stand-up, it doesn't matter who you are. If the audience claps because they love your movies, that clapping stops after five seconds, and then it's your job to make them laugh.
I think being on a TV show is amazing but also, people get kind of used to seeing you a certain way and so it becomes a challenge to break free from that in a way.
If I have the option, I always read the paper or a book or something I can touch and destroy in my own hands.
A lot of independent films offer a harsh reality check.
My grandfather came over from Puerto Rico and raised his kids speaking English so that it would be easier for them to assimilate.
I'm not, like, Daniel Day Lewis. Yet. I will get there!
I can't say I follow politics extremely closely, but I'm definitely aware of what's going on in the world.
I would never do a commercial for something that is embarrassing, and I think that people maybe have a different perspective on what is embarrassing or not. Some people think doing a Revlon hair commercial is really cool. To me, that's embarrassing, but World of Warcraft - not embarrassing, very cool.
I mean, sometimes I hate interviews because I always feel like I sound stupid.
There are always parts of me that come out in the characters that I play - it's the only thing I have to work with and to draw off of.
