When you audition for things, there's pressure to go in there with a complete performance, and it's kind of unfair because, if you get it, you'll have rehearsal and talk about it, and you'll have plenty of time with the script.

My step-dad started playing hockey in Detroit so we moved and I had to start home school. I started watching movies since I had a bunch of free time and then I was like, 'You know what?

She recommended me to audition for SNL, so I got my first of two auditions through her.

If there was a stiff-guy part, the director would brighten up when I came in.
