I like to approach comedy from character, to have the stakes for the individuals in the story be very high.

My folks are economists and have taught economics and social science so I grew up with those kind of conversations around the dinner table.

I think politicians know how to misrepresent data in order to support a political agenda. Politicians and the people that work for them - I should say - are expert at that.

A favorite film of mine is 'Office Space' and I love 'The Hangover.' That is a really good comedy from character in that film, and that is true of 'Office Space' too.

We're all vulnerable, and it's all hackable. If someone wants you and has targeted you, you can be taken down, and that fact is really scary.

There's no longer a monolithic evil empire somewhere, spreading a different philosophy of life. That doesn't exist.

I feel like my own background in improv and doing documentaries makes me really comfortable with a situation where you're letting things unfold and you don't have to be a jerk, stomping his feet, trying to get his way on everything.
