People do complain about the way I act on stage... They think on stage I act too arrogant, too self-obsessed, solecistic, self-contained, synonyms.

If I had a dime for every time a homeless guy asked me for change, I'd still say no.
Bo Burnham

My work is trying to at least define myself on my own terms, and then if other people enjoy things that's a lovely addition.

In comedy, falling means laughter. You can take something sacred and make it silly. The more sacred it is, the funnier it is. It has a bigger drop to fall.
