I'm Not Crazy. My Mother Had Me

I Have This Thing. I've Always Been Uncomfortable Going To Any Party Where People Don't Understand Why I'm There. One Of The Best Things About Partaking In A Show Like This Is, When I Show Up To Events And Parties Now, They Know Me. I Don't Have To Hear, 'oh, You're An Actor? Have I Seen You In Anything?' Anymore. I Used To Have To Start Listing Things Off Of My Resume'. It's Really Nice Not To Have To Do That Anymore.

It Isn't Called Tv Money For Nothing. There Was A Time Where I Paid My Rent By Doing Theater For Years, And I Was Able To Buy Groceries And Pay My Electric Bill. I Considered Myself To Be Making A Living As An Actor. This Kind Of Money That We Make Is A Whole Other Level, Of Course. But It Really Is Simply The Cherry On Top Of A Job And A Role That I Adore.

I Didn't Have An Imaginary Childhood Friend, But I Did One Day Imagine Somehow Tiny Green Men, And They Were Only Tiny And Green Because My Brother Had A Ton Of Toy Soldier Toys That Came On A Skateboard Plank Type Of Thing, And I Just Envisioned In This Car Driving To Church With My Mom, They Were There.

My Emmy Competition Is Awfully Good. My Stomach Is Already In Knots. The Problem Is That I Don't Drink, So I Can't Calm Myself That Way. I Wish I Could Be Better At Pretending I Don't Care.

I Grew Up With Two Different Parakeets - One That Lived For Five Years, And One That Lived For 13 Years - So I Always Had A Bit Of An Attraction To Birds And It's An Oddly Good Fit To Be In A Movie About Birdwatchers.
