My first concert isn't that cool or ironic. I wish it had been like, My first concert was the Backstreet Boys, but the first concert I went to, I think, was this band called The Samples.

A lot of times, you're circling around a lot of things, and then you find that one person, or that little piece of dialogue, and it doesn't always have to be in person.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think Trump thinks of himself as pretty important, and now rightfully so - because he's the President of the United States. You gotta dream big, and we're all so proud of what the Donald has been able to accomplish... following through on his dreams of taking fast food dumps on a plane.

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

I tend to play sort of douchey.

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

The thing that's the biggest bummer about any live show is a hot, sober room. So if it's during the day and people are a little buzzed, great.

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

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.

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.

Oftentimes the shows that don't work help you get it right.

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.
