No matter what tricks you use or what decisions you make, go easy on yourself as someone who's on a never-ending quest for improvement.

I have opinions about the differences between Memphis barbecue and Texas barbecue. Put me in the kitchen and you'll see how Southern I can be.

When I was growing up, I was as socially outcast as any nerd could possibly be. I was in the chess club, I brought D&D stuff to school, I had every game system you could imagine, I spent countless hours at arcades, computer camp, loud presence in the Latin Club. All that stuff.

When comedians get successful, the fans that they have aren't the fans they would hang out with. I don't have that problem.

I like listening to people talk about things that they love. They get to express things they don't normally get to express.

The idea of the archetypal nerd is totally blurred these days. So many people of this current generation have grown up with technology and video games. It's just a part of the world now, a part of our shared culture.

Any time you're lucky enough to get on a show people watch, it's a good thing.
