Who are my influences? Everybody.

Before I was a vegetarian, I traveled to South Africa and hung out there for a little bit. And they had different animals - did you know different parts of the world have different animals? Because I didn't until I got there! This is what being an American is like. You're like, Every place has these animals.

I love my job and I think my job is hard, but also, my job is such a privilege.

Run. Yoga. Hike. Generally try to outpace the nerves. If that doesn't work, one Jack on the rocks.

It's hard to narrow down your influences in comedy.

My personal philosophy is, talk about whatever you want on a show, but it better be good. And especially if it's something that challenges folks. You don't want to be on the side of power to demean a group that is at risk. Because that's propaganda. Whenever you're on the side of power, you're not making art. Art upends power.

Everybody that you can think of that does comedy, I have met or worked with almost all of them.

Australia's massive. I don't have a lot of downtime.
