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.

It's so much easier to write for an actor than for an imaginary character and then try to fit that character to an actor. It doesn't work very often in my experience.

It's all about media culture and people on television, and that feeling comfortable, friendly, or warm toward a candidate [in the elections] is a reason people would emotionally attach themselves to that candidate. I get the mechanics of it, I just hate that it's true.

You should be nice to people because it's better to be nice to people than mean to people, not because you think there's something in it for you.

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

Sometimes you've got to just commit to the idea and press forward and trust that you made the right decision.

I think that that the main problem with a lot of social media stuff in terms of ratings is it's a very skewed motivation.
