I think I'm good at knowing what's right for me. What's interesting about it, too, is, comparing Chris and Sarah's approach to comedy to say, Mike White's. They're both very much working under the genre of comedy, but it's such different voices. I actually treat them both the same.
I always, no matter what, if it's comedy, really try to play the emotional truth, think about what the character really needs and wants, what she's going there to do. And it's the same type of acting. I treat it the same exact way. And that makes a lot of sense, too, because they're very different voices, but they also are very emotional and very dramatically driven.
Emotional, funny, but dramatically driven. And I never want to make fun of the character. I always try to understand what they're talking about and understand their point of view.
And I don't like if people distance themselves too much from the character. I always want to try to put emotional truth into what they're saying, even if I wouldn't agree with that character or what they're doing.
I really try to find why they believe that way and what are their values and play the real truth, and then the comedy can play on top of that. But you really have to make it feel true for that character. Does that make sense? It sounds like you've gotten into a position where people are writing stuff for you — what is that experience like, looking at a role on the page and knowing that this writer had you in mind?
I feel like I've worked so hard for that and I really appreciate it and I celebrate it. I think it's so important to not take stuff for granted and to celebrate the victories when you have a part that you feel you're great for. I get like, "Yes! What's the point?
So I feel I do have a positive attitude. By the way, it's so funny to hear her say "It's Pat. It's so fun. It's great. Speaking of SNL , I have a question for you, which is what advice would you give to people who are considering leaving the show?
Well, for me, I always felt like I didn't have big aspirations beyond that show. I would always feel like when people were like, "Oh, it's such a great stepping stone, SNL ," I was like, what?
I was just like, what are they talking about? This is my be all and end all island. The fact that I got this far could be enough for me forever for my whole life.
It exceeded all my expectations. And, more than anything, Shannon feels lucky to have a family and a thriving career as a performer.
