“I totally cared - that I didn't have access to the money to get the coolest clothes ate away at me.”

“It's unfortunate that it's not realistic that you can get people to come to a movie theater not knowing anything about the movie.”

“I think we've faced all the typical challenges that young filmmakers go through over the years - time, money, negativity - but it's a lot easier to manage when you can learn from and laugh about all those mistakes and anxieties with your best pal.”

“It's just so fun to share that experience with your best friend when you're finding your voice as an artist.”

“But 'Brigsby Bear' was really important to me, because I wanted to tackle something dramatic.”

“My dad was a Seventh-Day Adventist pastor, and from an early age I was put off by being force-fed a belief system.”

“On YouTube, we were our own masters. We could sit on an edit until we got it right, we could choose quality over quantity.”

“With filmmaking in general, I have never absorbed the traditional knowledge of film history or filmmaking. It has always been just pick up the camera and go figure it out.”

“I think of our YouTube experience very much like a gym. We were practicing and getting stronger with each rep.”

“I just don't like filming scenes where it's like, that's not how people talk. People aren't saying a joke every five seconds.”

“My dream was never necessarily comedy. I really wanted to make film or television and was interested in darker stuff over comedy, but I knew I liked dark comedies.”

“Even if I'm not having the best time in a social situation, I'll force a smile.”

“At 'SNL,' we don't have the luxury to perfect things. However a video turns out, that's what we have to present. There's a number of things that I'm super embarrassed by and wish didn't air.”

“Working on 'SNL,' you can have a really stressful experience or a really bad week, and I could see how much of a nightmare that could be for someone who doesn't have a network of buddies going through that with them.”
