Difficult People? I don't really know. I don't have those metrics.

I think it [ Difficult People] is for people who don't feel that they have been properly represented on TV. I think it's painting a very accurate if slightly exaggerated for comedic purposes view of the LGBT world in a way that we have never, ever seen in any television show.

Difficult People? I don't really know. I don't have those metrics.

A lot of comics aren't their on-screen personas; Chris Rock isn't always ranting and raving. What I do is make myself this over-the-top character that people either find endearing or they think is a joke. Then I can do anything I want.

We weren't rich people, but my parents and I shared an interest in the theater and so we went a lot. And that definitely inspired me.

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

I spend the majority of my time in New York and LA. I feel like a large part of my following and my fans are probably in New York and LA because of the work that I do is very New York-LA-centric. So people do recognize me. But it's nothing overwhelming at all.
