It's never fun to read death threats.
When anything doesn't hit with a huge laugh, as comics, it feels like, Oh no, oh no, we're sinking.
I don't have a big hang-up about my body.
Abbott and Costello were huge for me as a very young person.
My dad is a very quick-witted, sarcastic, dry, humorous guy, whereas my mom's very silly, and that side of the family is very musical.
I feel like when you do Twitter, sometimes you just have an idea and you fire it off and don't really think too hard about the consequences of that. I think my reputation there is as a comedian and not someone to be taken seriously. But I like the idea of getting out false information and just muddying up the story and making it as confusing and, you know, schizophrenic as possible.
Well, I love Bob Dylan, let's make that clear. He's one of my musical heroes.
A lot of movies aren't intended for everybody.
On movies, you have a lot of stylists that get things too pretty. Everything gets steamed and ironed. It's just not the way we really behave.
Dads are awkward because they're older guys who aren't cool anymore and are figuring out who they are, and they often make bad choices in fashion and music.
Costumes are fun. Dress up like a pilot some night and watch as people stare!
The scariest thing about screening a comedy if you screen a drama, you know, there's no real way to tell in real time if people are enjoying it or not. But in a comedy, it's like, if people aren't laughing, it's sort of scary.
Nobody hates hipsters more than hipsters.
I'm always in situations where you can't be funny, and yet I want to do it anyway.
