“I grew up in Orange County near Disneyland.”

“I'm used to doing stuff where we just pull it together.”

“I think names and suits are funny. Normal names in insane situations and dumb suits are funny.”

“All ages can enjoy a loud crazy man and dancing skeletons.”

“I'm going to be writing and directing my own videos, and performing in them too, and I'm super-excited about it.”

“David S. Pumpkins could be Halloween's Santa!”

“Every accomplishment I've had is from the Groundlings.”

“All of the Groundlings you meet, you're like, 'You're like me!' You were that kid in high school, too!'”

“Usually, homecoming themes are like, 'A Night Under the Stars' or 'An Evening to Remember.' Ours was simply, 'Batman.'”

“That's when I was like, 'I love my job.' I grew up watching 'Growing Pains,' and now I'm doing a skit with Alan Thicke.”

“8H has such an epic, storied history. You can feel that when you're in there.”

“In the original version, David Pumpkins talks a lot more.”

“I recommend anyone who wants to pursue comedy to go to The Groundlings.”

“After 'David Pumpkins,' a lot of people were sending me pictures dressed up like David Pumpkins and the skeletons, and videos of kids reenacting the sketch, doing the skeleton choreography. It was really cool to see yourself out there in the pop culture of the world.”

“I wrote 'Pumpkins' with Bobby Moynihan and Streeter Seidell.”

“David Pumpkins is a lot. If he's at your party, he's a lot to take in.”

“'The Karate Teen' was great, where John Cena kicked me through four walls, or five walls. It was amazing how the film unit put that together. They literally strapped me to a chair and dragged me through five different set walls.”

“It's beneficial to have that younger sensibility available to you during the writing process.”

“A couple times I've been out with my mom and a few people wanted pictures. My mom loves it.”

“I remember as a sixth grader, my best friend and I had a big crush on our teacher. She was super cute. So we made little plays, and one of us would play our teacher, and one of us would play everyone else.”
