Abbi Jacobson

“When I was in high school, my mom worked at Bed, Bath and Beyond, so I was always there.”

“I definitely started to perform a little bit in middle school, but not the typical musical/play route. I think that I am funny, but it was more of a social thing, where that was my part in my circle of friends.”

“I definitely relate so much to a lot of women in comedy, but I don't love segregating the genders. I'm just as influenced by male comedians as I am female comedians.”

“Sometimes the art world can be a scary place, and you feel like you should know more than you do, but it's okay to not know everything!”

“When I lived in Baltimore, I would come down fairly often to go to the Hirshhorn, and one of my good friends from high school went to Georgetown. I actually ended up going to Annapolis a lot. I had a car, and it was such a serene place to drive.”

“Why does 'writer' have no gender, but 'actor' has a gender? What is that?”

“I find the most normal things about famous people to be the most fascinating.”

“I would love, obviously, someone like Gloria Steinem to do anything with me. We would obviously have to get lunch after, and she'd have to sign stuff for me.”

“Museums are interesting. This place where we're almost buying admission to take a break from our lives.”

“It's very natural and simple to me, drawing, because I've drawn since I was a kid. It's just the most normal thing for me to do. And it's very meditative.”

“I wasn't in the art world at all as a kid; I was just creative, and we were always doing arts and crafts.”

“Art school can be a wonderful place if you're trying to find your voice and your style and your taste.”

“I'm a big Sephora fan.”

“I didn't go to school for illustration. I did larger pieces, mostly drawings and paintings, and minored in video, but when I moved to N.Y.C., I didn't have a studio space anymore and downsized to my desk and started illustrating. I started a greeting card company and sold cards all over the city.”

“Before 'Broad City,' I had a lot of jobs that I knew were not for me, but when you're young and don't know exactly what you're going to do, if an opportunity comes up, you feel like, 'This is an opportunity; I have to try it.'”

“We just sort of thought a Web series would be a cool thing to be able to send to our parents to show them that we were, in fact, actually doing comedy.”

“I feel like comedy had a boys'-club label when we were starting.”

“You know how when you get older you actually want to learn? When I went to college, I wasn't as interested in the art history classes as I am now.”

“I'm not super, super religious. If this is okay to say, I'm more culturally Jewish.”

“I love comedy, but I was just obsessed with 'SNL' growing up.”
