Writing is like pulling your hair out. You have nothing, and you can't think of anything, but you have to think of something.

I'm really into everything. Something I've been asked throughout the years I've done the show is, What kind of music are you into?

I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable and scary and hard but pays off in the long run... Let yourself fail... And pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway?

I am a classical fan. I like Debussy a lot, so I was trying to learn it on the piano. I've learned like a third of it, but I think I'm getting to a section that may be beyond my skill level.

As an actor, I think every moment in your life is giving you a new set of tools. You’re constantly absorbing new information that you can put back onto the screen.

You're responsible for your own character to a degree, because when it comes to the final draft of the script, you might say, Well, I think maybe I could add this here, add that there. But I find that I write just as well for the other characters as I do for myself. I think.

I didn’t know that it was going to launch a quote-unquote comedic career. I just wanted to do anything other than wait tables.
