I Wish For Myself As An Adult

I Did A Lot Of Theater In School. I Thought Maybe I Wanted To Go To Law School Or Be A Judge Or A Politician. And Then I Just Kind Of Got Smitten By The Process Of Rehearsal And Working With Other Actors And Those Kinds Of Challenges. And Then Comedy.

I Think People Kind Of Come In Who They Are, And It Sort Of Doesn't Even Matter Who Their Parents Are - It Can Affect You A Little Bit, And You Can Be Guided And Shaped.

There's People Who Watch Shows While They're Preparing Their Dinners, And They Don't Want To Focus, And They Don't Want To Be Challenged, And Whatever. And Then There's People Who Want To Really Sit Down And Get Into A Character In A World, And Feel Like They're Expanding, Or They Have Complex Relationships, Or Whatever.

People Don't Believe This, But Hollywood Really Is A Meritocracy.

I Was Like, 'oh, My God, Girls Are So Pretty And Soft. No Stubble Burn! What Am I Doing With Guys?' [i] Haven't Dipped Back Since, But I Was Very Appreciative Of The Experience.
