Sometimes when I do a joke and it doesn't get a lot of laughs, it kind of feels like I'm doing jazz. That's kinda cool because jazz is cool, but sometimes jazz sucks ... Maybe I'm the Kenny G of comedy.

In our culture right now, I want to take on this notion of what a singular success means. We think success is one thing, but it's actually a spectrum of where our life takes us.

The list of fun and easily fixed brain diseases is very short.

I struggled with that notion early in my career. 'I know this is funny but nobody is laughing.' This thought occurred for years.

I think if anything, the fact that it's popular right now makes me go: "Well, I guess I'm going to start doing something else then in the next few years." I dunno, it almost feels hackneyed at this point. To start a premise by saying, "I did this awkward thing." But then again, awkwardness and feeling alienated are always going to be a part of comedy. Alienation, I suppose, can't be hackneyed because it will always exist.

The ability to workshop in stand-up comedy is incomparable to any art form, in my opinion.

I'm a big fan of pastries the size of a baby that contain enough calories for a year. That seems like an effective use of time.
