I was always bossy as a kid. I made my friends do shows that I wrote and would take them on tour from house to house.
Bouncing ideas off people when you're thinking up comedy is great.
I moved to New York and couldn't get a job as an actor. And waited tables for so long.
I was in 'Seussical,' and I was in a cage onstage in a purple yarn suit singing backup, and I was like: 'I've had it. I can't do this anymore.' I will say for the record that I did love the show, but I was like: 'I want to do something else. I need a little more.'
I was in eighth grade when I did my first Junior Theatre show. I was in 'Annie Get Your Gun' as a dancing Indian.
