My kids are really easy. I often worry that they're too easy to deal with. They're really nice people.

I do love standup. I love comedians. They're my community. Also, because I know so many of them, I know the value of them. I know what they can do.

I can feel how an audience is reacting when I'm on a stage, but when you are on stage, your perception is distorted. That's something you just have to know. It's like pilots that fly at high Gs and they lose, sometimes, consciousness and hand/eye coordination and they just have to know that that's going to happen. They have to be trained to not try to do too much while they are doing that. So when you are on stage, you have to be aware that you are wrong about how it feels a lot of times.

My show is sort of a short-film anthology, and I'm able to tell little stories that don't necessarily carry a whole episode in terms of narrative. I like the audience not being sure what they're getting. I think it's more fun to watch something when you're discovering it as you go along.

...Then I got divorced and everything changed, and I became a father in a whole new way and found a whole new set of difficulties.

I grew up in a generation that had exponential technological advances.

I've always benefited from knowing machines well, because it's freedom, it gives you freedom, I always knew that.
