I have a lot of stories about being a kid because it was the last time I was interesting.

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

There are a lot of great jokes you can sit down and write, but that's just a written joke, versus the comedy of the situation. Ideally, you're pulling as much comedy out of the situation as you can.

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

I've done festivals in the past where I'd be a guest, it was like, Wow, maybe someday I could play Town Hall - but that'll be a long way off. So it's very exciting.

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

The more you do stuff, the better you get at dealing with how you still fail at it a lot of the time.
