More quotes by Nick Kroll
For me, I was literally trying to stay afloat. I never actually thought I would get my own sketch show. So the idea that one day I would have my own show is pretty wild. But once I got it, I thought, 'Yeah, this is exactly what I always wanted to do.

I tend to play sort of douchey.
Nick Kroll
I was, like, a history major, and I minored in art and Spanish, but I found myself gravitating toward media studies as time went on.
Nick Kroll
I guess there should be somewhere on the Internet that feels like a source of sacred truth. But Wikipedia sure isn't it.
Nick Kroll
Oftentimes the shows that don't work help you get it right.

It was sort of in the jam-band era and it was at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester [New York], right where I grew up. I actually went back there a couple years ago when I was on tour for Kroll Show. I performed at that theater, which was really cool to go back to the first place I'd gone to a concert.

People want to consume what you're putting out there, and you can create a really strong following of fans and admirers, and people who are invested in your career and your comedy.

I gave the graduation speech at my high school. Not because I was valedictorian but because the grade voted for me to do it. And I gave a slightly contentious speech. I was a little critical of the administration. But for a long time it said on Wikipedia that I took my balls out and exposed myself to the crowd.

Really, more than anything, The 2000 Year Old Man is a huge influence on all of our comedy, but specifically the live version of Oh, Hello.
Nick Kroll
A comedian is sort of like a wild animal. It really just depends on where you catch them. Sometimes they want to cuddle up, and sometimes they'll snap at you. But for me, more often than not, if I'm talking to somebody who makes their living in comedy, it'll be a very thoughtful conversation driven from an emotionally honest place.

I have what I guess is medically known as a farting problem.
Nick Kroll
I would be psyched to get a phone call from Al Sharpton. I need to find out who does his hair. It's beautiful. It's a gorgeous mane.
Nick Kroll
Everybody gets better looking on TV as shows go on.Even the nerds on Big Bang Theory are getting better looking. Their clothes are getting nicer. They're better groomed. It works for them.
Nick Kroll
Go ahead and make up a ton of lies about me. That's way more interesting than pretending Wikipedia has any real information.
Nick Kroll
My first job. I got fired from this MTV prank show, or I didn't make the cut of what ended up being, as we all know, Boiling Points. It was my first professional job and I was bragging.
Nick Kroll
I think my goal was just to do comedy, honestly. It still is. Whatever form that took or takes, it doesn't matter.
Nick Kroll
You think you're going to be on TV a year out of college and you're not. Then you tell people and it's embarrassing. And then it's not a big deal at all.
Nick Kroll
It was easier to know a character's point of view than it was to figure out what your point of view was.
Nick Kroll
My thinking is, if we're setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game.
Nick Kroll
Although I'm a comedian, I'm also an amateur survivalist.
