My younger brother and I have been writing together, mainly for fun, for years, but we've been improvising together since we were kids. Literally.

When you don't have crazy ambitions, you're always happy just kind of getting by. Our expectations were always kept low. And so I feel like we appreciate it all the more to have all this good fortune come our way, which we hadn't really been planning.

If you're trying to make something funny, and it doesn't feel like you're always getting something, it doesn't have quite a lot of joy.

I've done animated TV stuff, but I'd never done animated film work, which is much more involved and much more labor intensive. The animators are much more meticulous and detailed. It's just been really fun and really satisfyingly creative.

A lot of modern comedies are difficult to watch too, because they're so ironic and so detached and so quote-unquote clever. They kind of keep you at arm's length. They can be really funny, but they're not really nourishing.

My father passed away before he saw me perform. I can't help but wonder what he would think of all this. I go to a job in full makeup.

Comedy can be fun no matter what you're playing small or big comedy part. It always has the potential to be a blast.
