In high school, I went to a place called the Mountain School. It's on a farm in Vermont, and I read Emerson and Thoreau and ran around the woods. Now I go hiking with a bunch of my comedy buddies. We talk about our emotions. I also do a lot of writing on hikes, just to get the blood flowing and the ideas moving.

People want to consume what you're putting out there, and you can create a really strong following of fans and admirers, and people who are invested in your career and your comedy.

It's the independent movies. Most of these people never even got a wrap party on their movie.

I feel like we have so many different ways to express ourselves now, and I relish, I feel very lucky to be doing comedy.

I like an otter. I like a sea lion. I like a walrus. That's my favorite version of a sea creature.

For me, I was literally trying to stay afloat. I never actually thought I would get my own sketch show. So the idea that one day I would have my own show is pretty wild. But once I got it, I thought, 'Yeah, this is exactly what I always wanted to do.

I think my goal was just to do comedy, honestly. It still is. Whatever form that took or takes, it doesn't matter.
