There's a good family of actors in 'Portlandia.' It's a small community with people who pop up again and again. The show's a little weird show, and you want to grow with the people who are in it, like Dana who plays the chicken waitress, and Ellen who was the adult babysitter.

I look at a show like 'Roseanne.' That's super influential on me. It's very funny, very real, with real problems. That was a big influence, and I don't know if you see that all the time in the network world.

I'm a huge 'Twin Peaks' fan.

I want to work with extremely, genuinely charismatic people.

A lot of the 'Portlandia' characters and a lot of the moments aren't really TV-worthy, but that's what is so refreshing about seeing them.

In your twenties, you might want to be radical and change the world, but in your thirties, you might just want to be happy and ground yourself.

I definitely feel the pressure to keep things fresh and original.
