"I wanted to combine my love of acting with my love of baking, so Im making a web series about a Pie Lady who bake things and go on quirky adventures. Think Pee Wees Big Adventure meets a baking show, with a 1950s twist."

"I wouldnt even have gone outside today if there had been something in my pantry."

My mother was a housekeeper and my father was a janitor. They told me that as long as I made good grades, Id have everything they didnt have. But Im having trouble finding something that will interest me and satisfy them. So right now Im undeclared.

"I have $100,000 of student loan debt. I could have gone to a cheaper school, but I thought: This is my dream and this is what I want to do and Im going to do it. I saw that I had thirty years to pay it back, so I thought: Thats manageable. Now its like I have a second rent to pay every month."

"Im 33 and I still work at a diner. To make it worse, my brother is a world renowned chemist. So when my father talks to people at weddings, he says: My son just got a million dollar grant. And my daughter lives in New York. The thing is, I used to be such an overachiever. I skipped the last two years of high school. I got a full ride to college, but ended up dropping out. I dont know what happened. I keep telling myself Im saving up to go back to school, but I dont have any savings. I dont know, I just feel very lame all the time.
