My natural-born sarcasm, when it's unimpeded, can be a bit overbearing at times and I'm the first to admit that.

I grew up as a very sarcastic person. I was always the class clown, and to date girls, I had to be really funny. I was really skinny growing up. I was so thin, I had to run around in the shower to get wet. That kind of thin. So I always had to rely on humor and sarcasm.

Sarcasm helps me overcome the harshness of the reality we live, eases the pain of scars and makes people smile.

Sarcasm is weird. Even not in acting, in life I feel like 'sarcastic' is a word that people use to describe me sometimes so when I meet someone, it's almost like they feel like they have to also be sarcastic, but it can sometimes just come off as mean if it's not used in the right way.

Sarcasm doesn't read sarcastic in print.

I do sarcasm really poorly.

I grew up in an environment of jokes and sarcasm and puns. I talk that way, so I write that way.

Sarcasm is lost in print.

When I first started writing, I was living in England and I had that uniquely English sense of sarcasm, which has definitely seemed to have left me. I am a naturalized American and my sensibility has become far more American.

My parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles were all funny, and I felt that energy, that delivery, that timing, that sarcasm. All that stuff seeped into my brain.
