I have to be really careful, because I have nothing but love for this entity known as "the customer" in entertainment. I would never, ever, ever put myself above them and say, "They don't get it, but it's funny, believe me. " If they're not laughing, I'm doing my job wrong.
I started auditioning when I was about 10 and I didn't get my first job until I was 12, and two years at that age is really hard.
