The key to writing for Richard (Pryor) was to just push his buttons and then know when to push the buttons on your cassette recorder.

What's beautiful about the actual acting class environment is that you can use it to push through everything: push your voice, push your inhibitions, push your fears, push your confidence, push your vulnerability, push your silences.
If anything, when you play against family, you never want to lose, whether it's your sister or it's your best friend. When you know that person so well, at the end of the day, you want to beat them.
