I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.
I told the Mucinex people, 'You picked me because I always sound sick'. They were like, 'Well, it doesn't hurt'.
I don't prepare for anything very well. I am not a good actor. I don't read scripts.
I'm so absolutely pro-Denver. I wrote a fake hip-hop song about Denver. I've been claiming Denver. Part of the joke of the song is nobody was really claiming Denver - no rappers, no comedians.
I actually prefer Twitter as a medium, and I also got into Periscope for a second, but I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. I can't figure out if the only important thing about it is the live broadcast, or if it's an interesting kind of way to log what you do.
I have a tough time with stand-up because I am an improviser. I can riff; I can do crowd work, so I don't prepare.
Keep your elbows soft. Keep your elbows looking fine.
I always like to have a buffer between me and journalism in general. Not just a reporter, but journalism.
People dream their whole lives of their Oscar speech; I dreamt my whole life of hosting the Oscars.
I love writing but not crazy meticulous/prepared enough to be a director. I'd work as a gaffer on something.
I feel like I've forcefully been thrust into the tech world, and I've enjoyed every minute of it.
I consider everybody who takes themselves seriously to be a little bit off. And Silicon Valley seems to be the most effusive about how important their contributions are to society.
To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.
I think I'm just a comedian who's a pretty good con man, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy. But I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.
I listen to 'deep dish house'.
I try to be an ethical, moral person and a nice person, and I like to have that reflected in my comedy. I'm not a mean comedian, and I don't think that my comedy is mean. I think that for the most part, it's more focused on the diversity that we all handle and try to provide a distraction from the disaster of modern living.
My father really told me, seriously, if you want something, you can have it, but you may have to work harder than anyone else around you.
I know about the tech industry in that I follow what apps are hot and software development. I know my way around different browsers. I know how to restart a computer.
I have perfectly symmetrical ankles.
It's much better to wreak havoc on a show and be a maniac than promote myself. Plugs and anecdotes aren't really in line with my beliefs. Besides, if someone sees me on a morning show and thinks, 'That's not funny; this guy is crazy,' then I don't want them to come to the show anyway.
Most things I get hired on, I get hired because I improvise something funny, or they just think I look weird.
I think it is very important to be a method actor.
My father always said I have a face for radio, and 'Cloverfield' was one of my finest pieces of work.
I acted in high school and studied at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford for one summer. I minored in theater, and I was always acting growing up and stuff, but really, I was just more interested in the comedy of it all. So for me, it's always comedy, and then acting is just one medium of comedy.
