Obviously geek culture is super influential, the web kind of started from a very geeky point of view because geeks are all about technology.

Basically, my socialization as a child didn't come from any schooling; it came from being in theater and meeting people online.

I think me getting into performance stems from my mother's inability to do those things. I guess you have these things you want your kids to do that you couldn't do, and you have to start early to do them.

I love sitcoms, and I grew up on sitcoms. That's my tasty junk food.

I think the whole definition of a geek is somebody being passionate and focused, and being proud of saying that they're passionate and focused, on a narrow range of subjects.

In making a web video series number one, you need to have a script that you think is really funny, and it's true to yourself. I think some people use things as a stepping stone, and they want to please people and show them, "Hey, I can do hip guys in Judd Apatow style," and it's not true to them. If there's something you know about, like motorcycles, do something about motorcycles first. Do something that's really true to yourself and find a voice, and make the script as good as possible.
