I feel like I've been the star of my own show for a while now. I was always putting on shows as a kid, and obviously, my household was really creative.

I've always done guest-starring stuff.

I grew up as normally as any other kid. Between that small TV part I did at five and when I turned professional actor at 18, I stayed away from the limelight, so I was just like any typical kid who went to school.

I don't mind doing occasional guest appearances on shows, but I have other things I'd like to do in my life now.

Like, on the 'Parks And Rec' set, I still feel like I'm a guest star. Being a fan of the show, it's really surreal to be on the set and see that it's not real, and getting to know the actors and they're not their characters.

One of the great things about doing series television is the guest actors that you can have come on and play around with.

My very first role was the character of Barbara Winslow in the movie 'Marmaduke.' Up until that point, I had only done commercials. I had never done a guest star role or a series, and yet they cast me!

I did a show back when I was in high school - so I was about 17 - and it was the first time I was on stage. I never even thought about being an actor before that, but after that experience, I knew it was what I wanted to do.

I was very vocal about what I wanted to do at a very young age. I wanted to be inside of the television set. I didn't know being on TV was being an actor.

I started going to acting school when I was 14, and I would always have my own take on things.
