It started off for me as just wanting to be an actor and sort of resenting in a weird way being expected to write as well as be a comedian and an improviser. And then you think about it for a minute, and I smartened up and realized that the only way to sustain a career is to generate your own material. Or to be in control of your career as best you can. And in allowing yourself to do that it opens up a whole new world of possibilities. And then you're like "Oh, producing is a thing."

I just want to do cool stuff.

Anything that you can do a tiny bit of research about, I'll turn it into an obsession.

Sometimes we have to actually say, I think you're really funny, but none of your jokes are going to make it on the air. So just answer my questions. Seriously.

Anything would deserve a sequel if the right elements are there.

I get all of my comedy from CNN.

If you have a secret, people will sit a little bit closer.
