It's really fun to be writing and producing your own sketches. You almost have more control.

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.

I wish I could go tell 12-year-old me like I don't worry that you just fainted in front of all the girls, one day you'll be able to make this into an episode of TV.

Part of standup is being loose and having a good time yourself and that translates to the audience.

Having done stand-up on television and in stand-up specials for like Comedy Central, you learn quickly that for that type of performance you're playing to the camera.

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.

Excuse me: I am homeless. I am gay. I have AIDS. I'm new in town.
