Will Arnett

And weirdly enough, I was...

I started doing that kind of 24, 25.

At the time, I thought, oh, I'm not going to do a sitcom.

It's like beneath me because I knew nothing at that age, right?

And it's so hilarious now to think back on how embarrassing that position is.

But anyway, and I started reading for sitcoms.

And doing that, I was like, oh, you know, okay.

Okay.

And I could kind of understand the timing and there was something about it that I kind of got.

I can think back on a lot of those early auditions, like first sort of paying gigs for like a sitcom.

And being very nervous and almost like out of body, like feeling not being present and just because I'm so nervous.

But I also think that like in the last year, you know, doing this movie has reminded me a lot.

It brought me back to that place.

I feel much closer to that kid I was when I was 20 when I first moved to New York.

And, you know, doing something like this where...

All the stand-up stuff aside, which was its own kind of thing,

But doing all these scenes that were really vulnerable and revealing and felt very scary.

And, you know, it's funny, nervous and excitement, those two senses, they're really close to each other.

And so I was excited, but I also didn't know.

And I've realized now as I'm older that I don't have all the answers and I'm not sure if I knew how to do it.
