'How much are you the draw or is the other person the draw?'.

A lot of times I feel like people come up to me because they think I'm like my character in Easy A, or because they've seen me in interviews, but really what they're a fan of is a movie or a character.

Drama is this incredibly vulnerable thing, but with comedy, you have to have a sense of rhythm and be very sensitive to the pace of things.

Those films I think were what inspired me to want to come to L.A. and audition for movies.
