“Weird stuff, for me, is not that weird. I guess if it were other people, they'd think it was weird. I eat nutritional yeast. And sometimes I take clay shots to help pull toxins out of my body. I eat weird L.A. food, so I guess that's probably weird in other people's eyes.”
“I think, so many times in society, women are expected to behave a certain way. You are raised to say 'sorry' and 'excuse me', and get out of the way.”
“I moved to New York to be a theater actor. It's what I studied and what I thought I wanted to do forever, as you do when you're 18 and think you know exactly what you want. I was lucky enough to start working right away.”
“I'm glad to see on a first-hand basis how both Andre Braugher and Andy Samberg work. They're both pretty esteemed in both of their fields, respectively - comedy-slash-dramatic acting work.”
“Hollywood is crazy because if you're working, you're constantly working. There's all sorts of scheduling and stuff, and maybe you have a day off, but you don't have the whole day. You've got a photo shoot or whatever.”
“The majority of my job is being an open channel, and if I'm not being very authentic with who I am in myself, then it doesn't feel like I can dig down deep and get to really vulnerable stuff, or stuff I have never felt before.”
“People's sexuality is often defined by who we're partnered with at any given moment, which can be a frustrating limitation for me. I've had countless tiny 'coming out' moments in my life, often simply to explain to someone else that they have misjudged my sexuality based on who they saw me dating.”
“I made good grades in school.”
“I utterly respect that there are lots of people who do service jobs and deserve our respect, because they make our world function.”
“You can't live in fear all the time.”
“I've worked in predominately male sets my entire life. Shakespeare? Let's talk about that.”
“I love stories that exist in this amped-up, personal world - sort of like 'Pee-wee's Big Holiday,' actually. That world really only exists inside that movie, but what a wonderful little world it is.”
“I am the kind of person that wants to get up in front of crowds of strangers and perform monologues. To each their own.”
“I wouldn't say 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' is a really 'delicate' show. I would probably use a word more like 'zany.'”
“I think most actors like to do things that are right outside of their comfort zone.”
“I lived in New York for a long time. Right after college I went there. So I got my first cell phone in New York. Back when you would flip the phone up. Way back when.”
“I remember watching 'Sesame Street' as a kid and loving that there were Latino characters on there.”
“The amount of coordination it takes to shoot a television show is mind-numbing. There are so many things that have to be exactly right to create the correct environment for a single shot, let alone a whole scene or the full episode.”
“I've been lucky enough to be part of some great ensembles in theater - I'd been doing theater since college.”
“Bisexuality often needs an explanation. It isn't something you can often 'read' on a person, and because of that, bi people sometimes feel like an invisible part of the LGBTQIA community.”
