I feel like there's a lot of rappers that could out-rap me and I wouldn't want to face any of them.

I hope a kid listens to my stuff, I hope there's a change made and at least somebody walks away with: "I'm doing this because I like it." People are going to hate it and that's okay, but I have to do it because my happiness is important too, it's worth it.

Writing is a very strenuous thing - it's like banging your head against a wall. At the end of the day, acting is better, just because nobody ever asked me if I wanted a Pellegrino in the writer's room.

It seems the more I try to connect with the world, I am feeling more alone than I ever have felt before

The thing about stand-up was, not only was I getting to write it without anybody saying I couldn't do it, but I got to perform it. It just kind of became therapy for me. I had just gotten through a break-up and I was talking about it a lot.

But I just think I was lucky enough to figure out early on that I wanted to do comedy, so that's what I put all my effort into.

When anybody pays you to be creative, you're very lucky.
