school cities clubs
Music was not a big deal to me when I was in middle school. And then I slowly became a big jazz fan. Even more than concerts, a lot of my high school time was spent going to jazz clubs in the city.
school years house
My best friend, Andrew Goldberg - and this is genuinely not me trying to cross-promote, but this new Netflix show I'm doing called Big Mouth is about me and my best friend, Andrew Goldberg, from childhood - but there was a year when I went to his house after school every day and we watched Wayne's World and ate Doritos.
moving writing school
In high school, I went to a place called the Mountain School. It's on a farm in Vermont, and I read Emerson and Thoreau and ran around the woods. Now I go hiking with a bunch of my comedy buddies. We talk about our emotions. I also do a lot of writing on hikes, just to get the blood flowing and the ideas moving.
school long balls
I gave the graduation speech at my high school. Not because I was valedictorian but because the grade voted for me to do it. And I gave a slightly contentious speech. I was a little critical of the administration. But for a long time it said on Wikipedia that I took my balls out and exposed myself to the crowd.
way tvs it-takes-time
My experience in TV is that it takes time for shows to find their way.
crazy character emotional
For me, the best characters are the ones that feel fully formed inside and out, so I try to have a very clear vision of exactly what they would wear, top to bottom, who they are, what their backstory is, what their family situation is, who are their friends, just creating as much of a three-dimensional character [as possible]. Because I think you could do a very broad character, but as long as there's some emotional truth to them you can get away with really crazy things.
suffering kitchen sometimes
Sometimes shows suffer from having many cooks in the kitchen.
cheesy sound comedy
I know it's going to sound cheesy, but I love show business. I love doing comedy, I love that I get to do all this with my friends.
play
I tend to play sort of douchey.
that-one-person littles pieces
A lot of times, you're circling around a lot of things, and then you find that one person, or that little piece of dialogue, and it doesn't always have to be in person.
car littles public-life
In L.A., you really are in your car all day alone, and there's very little public life.
firsts week judged
What business would judged on the first week that it's in business?
jobs people boss
A job is a job, and there are days that are going to be boring, or you have a boss you don't like, or people you work with.
thinking fans building
I think that the web and its various facets are incredibly useful in just building a fan base and getting your chops better.
