I took a Groundlings class in my 20s, and I was terrible. They didn't even pass me to the next level.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I got fairly good grades, but I was bad at woodwork. They said I tried hard, but the result was hopeless.
I really didn't even have time to get that many lessons, to be honest, because I was suddenly on the road. I was kind of thrown in the deep end. But that wasn't a bad thing when I look back at it.
I was terrible at school.
I was horrible at science and math. I couldn't pass a test to save my life! I'm surprised that it didn't take me until I was 20 to graduate. That's why my role is so cool - Grissom is the complete opposite of me.
I didn't do very well academically; I was always in the bottom class.
My parents kept me very grounded.
Um, I'm just naturally super-funny. No, not really. I've never been in The Groundlings or anything.
I remember so many times taking classes and feeling completely discouraged because I felt like I wasn't getting it and I couldn't understand. I kept working at it and I kept going back to class, and I wouldn't let myself get intimidated or get scared away, and it really does pay off.
All through college, I had frequently been the only girl in a science class - which wasn't such a bad deal.
The passion to explore and not be afraid to fail - that's something I will always attribute to the Groundlings.
