“I had seen some shows at the Groundlings [legendary L.A. improvisational and sketch comedy troupe] and thought, "If I could ever do that, that would really mean something, that I have arrived." So I went through the program and said to myself, "I'm going to stay here until they kick me out." Seriously, they can ask you to leave at any point. Luckily, they never did that to me.” IfsMeanSaidShowsAsksComedyProgramKicksIf I CouldReally MeanLegendarySketch ComedyTroupe Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
“As a performer, you can't just sit around waiting for the phone to ring. You have to write and develop projects for yourself, because casting people aren't always going to see you the way you want to be seen. Write a one-person show, shoot a short film, do plays, whatever - activity breeds activity. No one's interested in a stay-at-home actress.” PeopleWayWantWritingPersonsPlayShowsHomeFilmWaitingActivityProjectsPhonesActressesRingsPerformersCastingStay At HomeShort Films Author:Wendi McLendon-Covey
