I really was interested in doing something for a premium channel like Showtime or HBO, just because you get to really let loose. I think they let their storylines go wherever they want, and it's really a special place to work.

I was very, very into animation when I was growing up. The Simpsons is still my favorite show. I have a really strong connection to it.

If you really want to be successful in the business, you have to make that your priority, above family and everything else. It takes up every minute of your life.

I love doing comedy. One of my favorite things in the world is to do Parks and Recreation; a big fun character.

Eight hours of sleep would be amazing. That would be the best. If I could just figure out that part of my life, it would be great.

A lot of the time, you're supposed to play to the top of your intelligence, as truthful as possible. But when you're on stage making people laugh, you're still acting. I think it helped me a bunch to go on stage two or three times a week.

It's funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that's really funny, and I'll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it's three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views.
