If something is very, very funny but possibly controversial, if it's truly funny, then it's worth doing. Things aren't worth doing for the sake of being controversial.

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.

If I was at the Comedy Cellar at midnight you yelled at the back of the room. But you, for television, play it to the camera because yes you're communicating to the people at home using the studio audience that's right in front of you as a guide for that.

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.

It's nice when you're nervous and everybody's like, "Yeah, you should be nervous." Because a lot of times you're anxious and people say, "Relax. Shut up." And that just feels like, Well, I guess I'm also crazy.

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