To get asked to do stuff like 'United States Of Tara' and 'Caprica' is terrific. I can't complain.

In my mind, I was always a comedian who was going to branch into writing.

We're rewarding either the reality or the appearance of youth, which is why you have all these people in their fifties trying to act like they're seventeen. You know, it's great to be young. Be young. By all means, be young. But always remember that youth is also kinda dumb, and doesn't know a lot yet.

Stand-up is something I just truly love to do, so I'll always go back to it. I'll never stop doing it, that's for sure.

The problem is, and I'm just as guilty of this, a lot of people see their follower count increase and mistake that for friendships. It's great to have followers, especially if you want to sell albums, promote shows, or promote your friends, but you still need to get outside and talk to other human beings.

I love doing movies, but right now, television is the way Hollywood was in the late '60s and early '70s. The dream era I would have loved to have been part of in Hollywood then is happening right now, but it's happening on television, with these big complicated story arcs and real character-driven shows and sheer ambiguity left and right.

If you play comedic scenes like they're really serious, then it's so much more funny than if you're going for a laugh.
