“It's pretty surreal to be doing a show on HBO with pals.”

“I still like farts. I still think farts are some of the funniest things.”

“I'm going to be all over your TV for the foreseeable future.”

“I would never say that girls and their bachelorette parties are tame.”

“I went from being the shy weirdo to the class clown in a couple of years.”

“We thought it would be pretty cool to officially declare ourselves a gang. Our gang name was called the Rude Boys. Of course, any Rude Gang would need a jacket.”

“I'm more nerdy in a sense of, like, video games and Dungeons and Dragons and Renaissance Faire. But not nerdy in a sense that I know how to create apps.”

“My interests in the world of technology are mainly video games, but I like tech as a means to help solve big issues, such as the demands on natural resources.”

“Even if things are going well, I'm always thinking that I'm about to be hit with the dreaded gut punch and - psych! - I'll find out that it's all falling apart.”

“The Valley is a place that takes itself too seriously, and it has yet to be properly lampooned. So it's time for a wedgie.”

“At the end of the day, I want to play characters that interest me.”

“I don't think anyone can do any character that doesn't have at least some ounce of themselves in it. You are who you are, and your brain is drawing on things that you've experienced.”

“I'm into computers and have been for a while.”

“Everything needs to be lampooned. I believe that there's not any sacred ground.”

“Part of me wants a bunch of jocks to go to Comic-Con and call them all dweebs so they can be like, 'Pump the brakes a little bit.' But that said, it's all positive. It's just, of course, I'm going to find some cynicism in it.”

“I've been a Keanu Reeves fan for a very long time, since 'Bill and Ted' and 'Point Break' and stuff like that.”

“I think when you go in, with film or television, you want to tell this narrative. And with 'Joshy,' you want it to be grounded with moments - it's not like, 'Everyone be as funny as you can, quickly, at all times!' It's not like that. You have to pick the right improvisers.”

“You get a lot of apps and companies that are trying to sell you on something that's totally useless or potentially unhealthy. Only occasionally does something really worthwhile really come out.”
