gonna performer transforms type
In every character that you play... I mean, I don't think I'll ever be the type of actor or performer per se who transforms, you know? Like Claire Danes transforms into Temple Grandin - I'm not gonna do that.
somebody
When somebody asks what I do, I guess I say 'writer' first.
characters fun process reflects rushing
What's fun is that the characters in 'Broad City' are rushing and hustling, and our process reflects that.
In a bigger picture, all over the world is a boys' club.
I write 'Broad City,' so I connect it to me.
kids
All my brother Eliot and I did as kids was film sketches.
calls improv performance starting themselves vessel
The thing about the performance part... starting with improv and standup, you're starting with yourself as the character, and I don't feel as much like, 'Oh, I'm a vessel for -' I feel like someone who calls themselves an actor is a vessel.
awesome believe experience people reach takes whatever
If people believe in your material, they will do whatever it takes to get it done. Even if they don't, but you make it as awesome an experience as possible, they will help you reach your goals.
belief directly hate improv miss nerve system watching works
I miss improv. I hate it in a way - watching it, doing it - but only because it's so challenging and nerve wracking. Improv is the only belief system I've ever experienced that directly works on how to be. Just how to be.

I decided I would go to NYU so I could get into the comedy world and have legit housing, and my parents would not have trusted investing in a straight-up comedy career.
feminist gender gender-equality
I feel like a feminist is gender equality.
feminist proud feels
We're [with Ilana Glazer] both totally upfront and proud feminists. We're not being all secretive about it. I feel like we're pretty blatant in our approach.
cooking want garbage
I don't enjoy cooking when I'm high. And I don't want to be eating garbage because then I'll feel gross.
reason clinton bigs
We're big Hillary [Clinton] supporters. For a lot of reasons.
