I thought I wanted to be a physicist in high school until I learned that there was much more math than philosophy in it. I assumed I would just sit around all day and think.

I'm interested in taboos for certain reasons. They can dramatise things and they're scary, and they're important to think about. I'm also wary about the fact that if you don't proceed with caution and understand what you're doing, you understand these things are realities that you're dealing with, they're real things.

Postmodern comedy doesn't work well with very old audiences, because it's making fun of the comedy they enjoy.

I do think that stand-up comedy in general heavily favors masculinity and so I like to act a little feminine onstage.

I think comedy has a range, with multiple peaks in different areas. It's like trying to compare Beethoven and the Beatles. Sometimes I hear from people, 'I think you try too hard in your comedy.' And that's what I worry about.

I think controversy has this allusion of being controversial but it's totally not, which is why I'm trying to get away from it because it's just easy and automatic.

I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.
