I always laugh to myself when I listen to some really big A-list star saying that they are just a normal person.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can tell when people think they're a little bit special, and it's quite fun to laugh at them, and I think it's good to laugh at them, because then you can deflate their egos a bit.
One of the top comments I get from people is, 'Oh my God, you're like a regular person!' That's kind of a bizarre thing to live with. I know a lot of famous people, and their lives may not be regular, but they are regular people.
I always feel the most validated and confident being around people that I find funny - having Fred Armisen laugh at a scene or Bill Hader or Seth Meyers give me a compliment.
After every single take, I laugh. It's my own awkwardness and discomfort about being an actor.
Whenever you see people talking about how real they are or how normal they are, it seems odd to have that self awareness that you could potentially not be normal.
Whatever you laugh at in others, laughs at yourself.
I tend not to be someone who's on all the time, or is always trying to make other people laugh.
People who are mean or unkind or rigid - think about it - cannot laugh at themselves.
People who take themselves too seriously, who can't see anything else, are usually funny.
Normal people - i.e., people who aren't actors - are the most bizarre people you can ever come across. I'll talk to someone and come away thinking, 'They are clinically insane.'
