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.

Alcohol is like pouring smiles on your brain.

The 'Hipster Nerds' like stuff because they hate it. It's like they ironically like it.

If you have the opportunity to try different things, you should try different things and step outside your comfort zone and see what works and what doesn't work.

Even before I had an assistant, my calendar was color-coded and I had all these different e-mail rules for how to prioritize e-mails, so I made it a point years ago to figure all that stuff out because my life was a mess.

The podcast movement was really a creative survival mechanism for standup comics.

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