Bears are simultaneously so graceful and so strong. Bears know who they are, but they often don’t know who you are, which is why they kill you.

The one thing you're most reluctant to tell. That's where the comedy is.

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

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

Life is unfair and improv is a great metaphor of that.

Every comedian comes to a fork in the road where they have to decide if they're going to make jokes about other people or make jokes about themselves. I chose myself.

When I'm taking the subway to my improv shows I will be writing in my notebook different actions that I see people doing on the train whether it's eating yogurt or looking at where their stop is, or tripping or holding a baby. It's not preparing scenes and ideas as much as it is stoking your brain to think observantly. Just to place observations in your head, so that they are available somewhere.
