If the doors aren't open, just kick them in and keep walking.

I love crazy names. It comes right from Monty Python and Woody Allen - nothing in the world makes me giggle more than a funny name. It became a thing I started doing when I wrote. If a person came into a store and said, "How much is this apple?" that person would have an insane name.

I find Billy Eichner to be hilarious, though I also imagine that for many, a little goes a long way. Billy provides a kind of comedy the Parks and Recreations show did not have - an insane person screaming at everyone, and our job going forward, as it is with all of our characters, is to develop him and make him more three dimensional.

I stopped using Twitter for a while just because I got sick of it and I started using it again, but I don't check the "mentions."

Every city, every town, every region in USA has these weird things - the way they pronounce words, or what they call soda, or how people drive. It's a huge country, and there's all these strange pockets of behavioral patterns that social anthropologists could spend lifetimes researching and reporting on.

You can't just sit around in leopard-print slippers and drink champagne all day and think everything's gonna work out somehow.

I am not on Facebook. I'm not on Instagram. I only use Twitter, which I wish I didn't.
