Being president looks like the worst job in the world.

I remember writing standup jokes without having done sets. But as soon as I did my first set, it didn't matter. Everything I thought would work didn't work. And everything I was iffy on was funny.

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

People having expectations maybe means they've enjoyed what I've done.

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

There's [John Mulaney Show] jokes that I have in stand up that I wouldn't try to put in, I would try to have someone just speak extemporaneously in the middle of a scene about an episode of "Law and Order" or something.

Comfort is everything. You start doing something and you want it to be perfect right away, but most babies are born ugly and then they shake it out and you get beautiful toddlers.
