I always have my best thoughts on the toilet.

Actors put ourselves in awkward positions all the time.

I had my own insecurities, which a lot of my comedy would come from, about not being able to live up to their academic expectations. Acting out those insecurities was a way of confronting them, like, “Let me just lean into being a guy who can’t read or write.”

You live your comedic life close to the edge, you're gonna cross the line and offend people.

I find that the majority of the year, I don't spend acting. I spend it either writing or editing or producing, or putting things together. So it's as shocking as it is tragic. I really enjoy it. It's a valuable skill set. I certainly feel like more of a grownup.

You're responsible for your own character to a degree, because when it comes to the final draft of the script, you might say, Well, I think maybe I could add this here, add that there. But I find that I write just as well for the other characters as I do for myself. I think.

I think people are surprised when I string two sentences together. But I had a fiercely academic upbringing.

Sometimes even hearing a bad idea is a great way to get to a good idea.

I love Queen. Not all of it. Some of it, I can't get into. But Don't Stop Me Now is a pretty hilarious song. It's a good pick-me-up in the car.

It is not elegant to gnaw Indian corn. The kernels should be scored with a knife, scraped off into the plate, and then eaten with a fork. Ladies should be particularly careful how they manage so ticklish a dainty, lest the exhibition rub off a little desirable romance.
