We just went out there and swam, did a good job. Pumps everybody up. We still have two relay races tomorrow. I?m ready for it.
coming ended high musical playing
When I was coming up in high school, if you wanted to be in the musical it was during the winter, so I had to choose between playing basketball or being in the musical. And I ended up playing basketball.
Live-action is more fun for me, because you're acting with people. When you do voice-acting, many times you're not even in the room with the person that you're acting with.
consume finish games life point sit time video
If I play a video game, I have to get through the whole thing. Like, when the new 'Resident Evil' comes out, I have to sit and do the whole thing. It will consume my life. I'm at a point where I don't have much time to play around anymore, so I don't really get started on the games if I won't be able to finish them.
bunch helped people stage supposed three time top truthful
A lot of the time, you're supposed to play to the top of your intelligence, as truthful as possible. But when you're on stage making people laugh, you're still acting. I think it helped me a bunch to go on stage two or three times a week.
aspect improv
Taking improv has helped every other aspect of my field.

I love just working. I love the idea of being a working class citizen.
driven hope point
I hope I don't get driven to the point where, to be honest, I'm never satisfied. I hope there's some part of me that can be content.
films people
I did a lot of short films online, so I come from that background where a lot of people see your stuff.
favorite love
I love doing comedy. One of my favorite things in the world is to do 'Parks and Recreation'; a big fun character.
adding ask cool director room time
When I do the roles, when I'm in the room and auditioning, I'll ask the director if they're cool with me adding stuff, or just improvising while we're doing it. And I would say, like, 90 percent of the time, they say, 'Absolutely.'
exciting super watch
I think it's always super exciting to watch something before you can see it in theaters.
games love
I love video games. When I was growing up, video games were very important to me.
