The standup on playing a beaver in Zootropolis 2, being inspired by Arnold Schwarzenegger and why her mother is a great source of comedy
What is the best advice you’ve ever been given?
I used to be quite the worrywart. Especially in this business, there were a lot of times where I wasn’t working, it was hard to find a job and I would just worry, worry, worry. My mom would just say: “don’t borrow trouble” – cross those bridges if and when you get there. It freed me up in a way that I’ve appreciated in the later parts of my career.
Who did you admire when you were starting out as a comedian?
I was a huge Carol Burnett fan. My grandmother watched reruns of her show all the time. I loved how silly she was and I was obsessed with the kind of person she was on and off screen.
