Quote

In New York, you are forced into having very public lives and observing all types of people, what they sound like, what they're reading, what they smell like, what they are listening to, how they talk to their friends.

My thinking is, if we're setting out to make comedy in which nothing is off limits, then everybody is fair game.

I'm sure there are people who say like, I was wearing weird emo eyeliner, but there's something pretty embarrassing about the jazz phase.

I was going to have Brian La Croix do a cameo on Degrassi. But, unfortunately, the scheduling didn't work out. When I was in Toronto, they weren't shooting. To me, that would've been a pretty crazy meta experience.

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.

The more you're able to understand how to do a good dramatic performance, that can inform your comedy. It all informs one another. And it keeps everything interesting.

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.

I like an otter. I like a sea lion. I like a walrus. That's my favorite version of a sea creature.

Go ahead and make up a ton of lies about me. That's way more interesting than pretending Wikipedia has any real information.

I've decided to just keep doing Oh, Hello, where I play an older man who thinks he's very cultured. That clearly has not gone away.

My experience in TV is that it takes time for shows to find their way.

Seinfeld has his way of telling jokes - and I'm not comparing myself to Seinfeld, his genius is observing the small details of everyday life and finding humor in it.

I tend to play sort of douchey.

I think my goal was just to do comedy, honestly. It still is. Whatever form that took or takes, it doesn't matter.

I feel like we have so many different ways to express ourselves now, and I relish, I feel very lucky to be doing comedy.

A job is a job, and there are days that are going to be boring, or you have a boss you don't like, or people you work with.

In L.A., you really are in your car all day alone, and there's very little public life.

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.

In general in comedy, there are fewer people making a ton of money and a lot more people making a living. For me, the goal is just being able to make exactly the show I wanted to make.

My best friend, Andrew Goldberg - and this is genuinely not me trying to cross-promote, but this new Netflix show I'm doing called Big Mouth is about me and my best friend, Andrew Goldberg, from childhood - but there was a year when I went to his house after school every day and we watched Wayne's World and ate Doritos.
