I often play characters on TV shows that are more sweet and naive and just kind of puppy-dog eyes, and I don't think I am like that as a person.

I don't think I'm like any of the characters I've played - they're all really far from who I am.

You cannot play naive if you're not.

My comedy does not come from a place of deep cynicism, and I tend to play characters who are naive in some way.

I care about all the characters I play, and I get quite defensive about them.

I don't really get a buzz from playing characters that are similar to me 'cause that's not acting to me.

In particular, people have trouble understanding where I stand in relation to my characters, and very often this gets reduced to me making vicious fun of them.

I am not as confident as the characters I play. I am a bit aloof. I am uncomfortable in social situations.

I've gotten to jump into a lot of different things. And either being bold enough or dumb enough or naive enough to believe I could play them all, it's an exercise of self-delusion.

I tend to have a pattern of playing misunderstood characters.
