"I honestly would tell anyone young to start looking at stories and learning story, because I think thatâ€™s the next step after people go, â€˜OK, Iâ€™ve had enough of that improvisation, Iâ€™ve had enough of those short comedy bits. Tell me a story, tell me a more complex story, something that lasts and maybe has a little more meaning to it.â€™ Donâ€™t ever look at whatâ€™s happening now; look at whatâ€™s coming next."
