The perfect thing for me is to be on something I love, where I'm doing it and have enough money not to be poor, and I'm allowed to go on vacation.

When I first graduated college, I told my parents I'd try to pursue comedy for the first year or two, and if it didn't work out, I'd put my nose to the grindstone and try to find a job somehow. I went to UCB, and it clicked with me.

The anxiety of not knowing what my next gig is keeps me hungry.

I was very, very into animation when I was growing up. The Simpsons is still my favorite show. I have a really strong connection to it.

Eight hours of sleep would be amazing. That would be the best. If I could just figure out that part of my life, it would be great.

It's funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that's really funny, and I'll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it's three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views.

It's so fun to play a character that has so many layers that people won't even know, until the next season.

I love the idea of doing totally different types of guys for different projects. I love that I get to do this. It's so fun.

I love doing comedy. One of my favorite things in the world is to do Parks and Recreation a big fun character.

When I got a tiny bit of success, I was petrified that I was going to lose it. I still feel it.

At the very beginning, I was a page at Letterman, and I freelanced for any place that would let me write any word. I wanted to do this so badly.

I really was interested in doing something for a premium channel like Showtime or HBO, just because you get to really let loose. I think they let their storylines go wherever they want, and it's really a special place to work.
