I struggled early on with kind of finding that balance between human and robot. You don’t want to play a ‘beep boop bop’ robot, obviously. But she can’t have too much emotion and judgment. She is this kind of unflappable, happy, positive thing. And the beginning was weirdly difficult. I talked with Mike Schur about it a lot, the show’s creator, and we found a happy medium, a balance, together. Then it started to feel so natural. Now, I feel like I know her so well: She is me, I am her.
