I write characters that are based on elements of people I know and experiences I’ve really had.
I have found that she is as kind and caring a person as she is hilarious. Simply put, Amy Poehler is my hero.
It can take a few months to get a new 10 minutes. Usually it takes like 10 times of repeatedly trying different variations of a joke until I land on one I think is really good.
To be honest, I tend to romanticize the past, and though I appreciate all the conveniences of modern life, sometimes I yearn for simpler times.
It’s much more fun to share and laugh at the bad times and the frustrations. I find you get a much deeper connection with the audience that way.

When I bet on horses, I never lose. Why? I bet on all the horses.
