I always go to bed thinking I'm the luckiest guy in the world.

I had such a distaste for '70s clothing. So, the '90s were a rough period for me because I got made fun of for wearing what they used to call "pegged pants." Now they call them "skinny jeans."

I feel more comfortable writing firmly comedic or slightly comedic stuff.

When I was 13, I kind of got into the punk scene. I realized it was easier to wear a pair of combat boots and jeans and a beat-up T-shirt. I think of it as a uniform: Ya know, if you're a Maytag man, you put on your bow tie. I still have T-shirts from when I was that age.

I think we need to tell stories that reflect our world.

D.C. is a hard city to grow up in. I couldn't find my footing there. Also, I got a late start academically, and I was dyslexic.

In New York, you can bump into someone on the street and go to a thing, go get coffee real quick.
