Things have to be funny first, and if they want to have a point, that's awesome.

Being president looks like the worst job in the world.

I've always believed that you often need less. You don't need to hear why people are friends, you don't need to hear why people are roommates, you don't need to hear why someone would help a friend to do something.

I really set out to do this traditional looking and traditional sounding multi-cam sitcom, but then make the world as elastic as an animated show could be. Make the world as surreal as we wanted it to be.

I was always the squarest person in the cool room, and alternatively, sometimes the weirder person at the mainstream table.

I have tons of jokes with moments in them over the years in stand-up that don't get a laugh but I love them so they stay.

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.
