In the U.K., there’s absolutely no money for television. So you can do pretty much whatever you want. They’re not losing money on any of the shows, so they’ll give you a lot of creative freedom. In the United States, there are millions and millions of dollars at stake, so they need a sure formula. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
I think it’s great training for any comedian to start on cows. Because with cows, you expect them to be bored and just stare at you blankly. And that’s exactly what you’ll get at a comedy club. If you can toughen up with a cow audience, then you’ll never be worried with a human audience. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
I probably shouldn’t say this about all animals, but at least the farm animals that I’ve hung out with, and even when I go to the zoo usually, they’re like a blank slate. I guess that’s why I like them. They’re puppets, and you can imagine them being anything you want. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
Animals in general have sparked a weird depression in me, because as much as I tried, I couldn’t layer a personality over them. You know what I mean? I would stare at the cows, and I would sing to the cows, and they would always just look at me blankly. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
I loved ‘Burning Love,’ and I really do love almost everything Paul Scheer touches. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
My style can’t be held within a pixel medium. Like, it needs to be performed in a living, breathing space. People need to have all their senses ready to take on my comedy, and unfortunately, TV alienates at least their sense of touch, taste, smell. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
I don’t enjoy reality television at all. I have to say that I get it, though. I watch some of it, and I understand why people enjoy it. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
I love the idea that I have the power to look for the projects I can put myself into, but I’m still at that level of just being happy to have a job. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
I’ve been lucky. The projects I’ve gotten to work on are projects I’d want to watch myself. That’s what I try to shoot for. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
I just really like people, and being a freelancer can be lonely during the day, when you’re at home trying to write anything you can. ‘Flight Of The Conchords’ was so wonderful because I had a family for two years. Kristen Schaal Read Quote
