It is 100% easier not to do things than to do them, and so much fun not to do them - especially when you were supposed to do them. In terms of instant relief, canceling plans is like heroin.

A lot of comedy clubs are set up with people sitting at little tables and you have everything from the way they are seated to them ordering or taking a sip of a drink, these can make a comedian go harder and faster in a club.

I like when things are crazy. Something good comes out of exhaustion.

Maybe I just have high self-esteem, but I have a lot that I really enjoy.

It was funny to be an emcee, because you're so at the mercy of the club. You can show up for the weekend hoping to get the $400 - and get fired. I had to prank whoever they told me to prank.

With the first episode [of John Mulaney Show] I tell a story that happened to me accidentally chasing a woman down the subway.

My standup persona is like I'll heighten things, but I'm observing the world as it is in sort of a heightened emotional state.
