My father and I were really like a team. I mean, he was very supportive. He'd come to every single one of my live shows.

I know is that the response [for Difficult People ] has been really great. I think it's for smart people. I think it's for people who obviously care about pop culture or know about it, even if it's to a fault. I think it's for outsiders.

I have a medical condition, all right. It's called caring too much, and it's incurable. Also, I have eczema.

If you really think you have something good, you can't take no for an answer. You've got to get in there and ignore the people who say no.

We're really fleshing out the whole world of the show [Difficult People]. It's more of an ensemble now, whereas last season we were very focused on establishing the Billy/Julie friendship. Now that that's been established, we don't question that they love each other and what the show's about. So we can meander outside of that.

I can tell when somebody recognizes me, and I try to avoid those people.

I started out as a very traditional actor. The first thing I ever did in terms of performance was singing.
