>> My name is Amy Schumer and I am a standup comedian and an actress.
>> I get up and I meditate.
That's the first thing I do before I log onto the inter webs
and then I e-mail some people back and I look at my calendar and I go to do this
and then either come to film something or I, like I'm either filming something
or I am not during the day and if I'm not I'm like a girl, I'll go to yoga
or something and get lunch with a friend.
Yeah days when I'm not working are pretty sweet.
I kind of take it easy, do a lot of writing, and then usually don't have to work
until night and then I have some shows.
I run around and do a bunch of shows at night.
So I tried standup and I was kind of good at it, like I had a little bit of an edge.
I did theater before so I didn't have to get over stage fright and then just kept getting
on stage as much as possible because doing it is the only thing that makes you better.
You could be the best writer in the world, but if you don't have that stage presence,
also that're building then it's kind of worthless.
So I got better as a comic and continued studying acting after college and also
from doing plays and just being cast in a couple small productions,
just learning these past couple years.
A couple walk-on roles and just small parts on TV shows
and now that's been building it's a kind of bigger roles and some cool movies.
