With Portlandia, I don't think our intention is always to find something funny. Sometimes the humor comes from taking something really seriously. We're okay with making somebody feel uncomfortable or uneasy.

To be a fan is to be curious, and to be curious is to have openness... Part of being a fan is to allow 360 degrees of experience - to immerse without judgment. It's like a really fearless step forward into new experience. There's something that feels very timeless about fandom.

I'm kind of a hermit. it's almost easier for me to write about connection than to actually connect.

I've always loved writing. Doing that at the same time as playing music can be tiring.

I will say, as a woman, when you put a mustache on, you find out a lot of things about yourself.

I'm all about being prudent. And I've started to appreciate experiences more than actual objects.

I guess the role of art is to make something that is ambiguous and complex.
