“I don't consider myself a very good actor. I'm not bad, but there's not a lot of range in characterizations for me.”

“Writing is the hardest for me. It doesn't come as naturally as the other forms, and I feel far more dread during the process. Acting and voice acting are more mercurial and maybe come a little easier to me.”

“I need to lose some weight. I'm getting really fat. But I'm getting older, and I just can't stop eating wonderful food. Rich, wonderful food.”

“'Bob's Burgers' is done with the cast all together - not necessarily all together: some are in L.A. and some are in New York, but we're hearing each other. So scenes are performed as a group. And 'Archer' is just me alone in a booth.”

“I wasn't classically trained as an actor; I wasn't pursuing standup comedy. I really came into it through the back door. And there was a benefit to that, I think, because I wasn't pressing; I wasn't pushing.”

“I don't recommend not working hard, but it's worked for me.”

“I was a teenager when 'Miami Vice' came out, and that was such a huge show.”

“David Wain's character on 'Bob's Burgers' is really funny and silly and makes me laugh.”

“Incompetent and relentless are the worst combination of qualities.”

“I actually walk through Washington Square Park a lot.”

“I think, to a degree, I'm maybe more suited for voice work. And I don't just mean my face and body. Because maybe there's something about what I do that just, for some reason, is better to just hear me.”

“Voice actors I used to know who were starting out in comedy were guys who did a lot of voices. They were usually comedy actors who developed their comedy by doing tons of impressions and voices that were usually very funny. And I never did any of that, so that's, I guess, why I don't consider myself a voice actor.”
