My problem with being in New York City is that you really can't make a living as a comedian. You can, but you have to also take writing jobs, which means less stage time.

Alienation, I suppose, can't be hackneyed because it will always exist.

I feel like people have more in common than the news reports.

Gillian [Jacobs] is brilliant, and it was Lena Dunham that recommended her. I didn't see her in the part, but Lena told me that Gillian can do anything. It turned out to be true.

You need to know what doesn't work to know what works. It's especially true in improv and stand-up.

I love pizza so much, I would marry pizza, but it would just be an elaborate ploy to eat her whole family at the reception.

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