In terms of, like, instant relief, canceling plans is like heroin.

I'm a very straightforward person. But that's fine for a comedian. Because a lot of times you're talking about everyone else.

"The Doula" was and is a very, very special episode to me because I think it's very funny and very weird and it also is 100 percent based on my life, in that I fainted three times during Sex Ed in real life the three different years.

It's important to remember that life is a joke and that outlook grants a lot of perspective, but I don't think comedy should change and become political due to other things. It should just laugh at that cosmic joke that life is all the time.

I had a lot of fun writing things that died during dress rehearsal. Sometimes I remember the crazy ones that died even more fondly than the ones that did really well.

In every case, I find pre-planning noble, but not always that useful in comedy. You know comedy once you're doing it.
