You have to create your own stuff. It's really exciting to create something, sell it, and feel like I'm not just a pawn waiting to be cast

Years ago, I was thinking about this type of character and what happens when you've lived in this sort of strange, surreal world where it's parties all the time and then you don't get to live there anymore. What do you do with the rest of your life?

I don't really like to go out to clubs or anything. It's just not my style. I'd much rather go to a dive bar or a local place.

I was never the class clown or anything like that. When I was growing up and doing theatre in Seattle I was always doing very dramatic work... Now I can’t get a dramatic role to save my life!
