It's very interesting being an artist and a comedian, (because) you aim for jobs that will feed your ego, but when you get up to the precipice of them, you actually have to deliver. You actually have to understand that you're reaching a new level where there are way more eyes on you, way more expectations and way more pressure.

Being comedian outside of performing, you're someone who's analyzing life, and thinking about it, and observing so much. In my opinion, it can make you feel sort of on the outside looking in.

When you try to go back and watch improv on tape, it almost never feels as good as it did when a crowd was laughing at it.

Mania is fun. I won't lie, it's fun. But it's usually followed by a soul-crushing depression.

I'm just trying to do my part before I get hit by a bus.

The best advice I've gotten in terms of that was someone who said, "People will surprise you if you let them."

There's many hundreds of millions of people who have jobs harder than comedians. And I also remind myself of that everyday. No matter how frustrating this can be, I'm very lucky that I've been able to cobble together a little life where this is what I do.
