In some ways, comedy and something like a musical do go hand-in-hand.

I moved to New York when I was almost 21 and I've lived there for almost eight years, now I have a totally different relationship to L.A. There's like all this space and it's so beautiful seeing all these different landscapes and all my friends are here so now I really like it so much but my adjustment period was a little like "What a strange town".

It doesn't matter what you do. It matters who you are.

I always thought it's way more important to be funny or to be honest than to look any certain way

I guess every musician looks forward to a point where they can just kind of make an album that truly is like a nice art album.

I've learned that you have to stay true to yourself from all the amazing people I've had the opportunity to work with thus far. You have to stay true to yourself and don't be afraid even though people may say what you're doing isn't cool or isn't right. I promise you, you will not regret it if you stay true to who you are and what you love to do because there is no other reason that I am up here today receiving this award.

Censorship makes me really angry. I even hate it when people censor themselves.
