There's something that I can't describe about the city [Portland] that I really love - just physically - how it feels to walk around there, and have coffee there. Also, the way that it's a little overcast sometimes. Something about Portland just really resonated with me.

Portland is where young people go to retire.

It's already years ago now, but there's that South Korean music artist Psy, who had that hit song and it was a hit song here. I'm like, "Wait a minute. There's a chance. There's a way we can have language not be such an important part of comedy."

People are always nice, so I can't complain. My name used to be SNL! More and more, people call me by my name.

The more I keep myself occupied and jump from thing to thing, the more I think it enriches both.

I was in a band and it wasn't working out the way I wanted. Then somehow, little by little, I started doing a couple comedy things. All of a sudden I was being asked to do more and more comedy things. There was this message from the world saying, "Maybe you should go this direction."

I wish I was one of those people who could write script after script and pages and pages. I can only aspire to do that.
