When I was going on auditions it was nerve-racking. I'd always say to my mom that it would be awesome if I could get a series. When Modern Family came along I said 'You know what Mom? I believe I'm going to get this role.'
When you're a houseguest and you leave it's nice to straighten something up or send your hosts a useful gift. And when you leave the planet it's nice to have made a positive contribution.
