I am realizing how old I am 'cause I am meeting so many people that were born in the 80s, which is crazy to me that I was going through puberty and [they weren't] even alive.

I always fancied myself more of an actor than a comedian before I realized that only assholes make that kind of distinction.

Why should I be feeling tension? It's The Daily Show.

I'm a complete egomaniac. It makes me feel terrible to say [being interviewed] is hard. It's taxing in a way. Just 'cause it's a lot of mental energy just to keep focused. I actually think it's harder for journalists.

I touched an Oscar once. Friend of mine has one, for writing. As soon as I touched it, he said, Now you'll never win one.

I actually got the part. And I thought, Well, I'll do it for a while. I'll just quit if it's stupid.

For most of my life, I was a worrier and an over-thinker. I had pretty bad social anxiety.
