Rob Corddry

I fancied myself a pretty good writer, right?

So I would write these stories, and I was really into Stephen King at the time.

And I would show them to my mother and she was like, yeah, this is a great example of plagiarizing Stephen King.

So keep going, you know?

I'm really good at writing in the voice of whatever I'm reading.

So I know that if I'm actually writing something for, you know, a TV show or something,

Never to be reading anything at the time or to be watching anything that is remotely close to what I'm writing, because I will probably accidentally plagiarize.

Oh, yeah, that was that was she was very good at that.

And, you know, I always thought I was it was really I was arrogant.

You know, I thought like I would watch something as a kid and I would say, I could do that.

I could do that.

Like there's these that things.

I don't really believe this person, you know, in my rudimentary life.

I didn't have the language for it, but I was like, I don't quite believe this actor.

I could do that.

But again, there was nowhere.

I'm from Weymouth, Massachusetts, right?

There's no...

Sort of it is not realistic to want to be anything but, you know, a pipe fitter or a mailman or something, which is, you know, I would have happily done that.

But somehow I stumbled into like a theater program at my college.
