“Twitter is maybe the worst thing. It's cool when you can tweet out your show and be like, 'Hey, come see my show,' or 'Check out this Kickstarter,' but it's also this weird 140-character vehicle for insidiousness.”
“I think it's pretty silly that people wear boxers. You're wearing shorts under your pants. They're shorts.”
“I wanted to be like 'Kids in the Hall.'”
“It's not as if I've never been awkward myself. I'm a big gamer, so I've had access to that type of personality. I used to go to these LAN parties; that was before high-speed Internet. The only way you could get lag-free gaming was to haul these huge computers to people's houses.”
“I like my flight sims because I can set up a very robust joystick setup and my head tracking software.”
“Scorsese is very nice. He's small; he's energetic.”
“I was a little bit of a tech lord. Not a lord. More of a duke or a nobleman. I was into that stuff as a kid. Nothing too crazy.”
“I've had the fortune of meeting most of the 'Kids in the Hall.' One meeting was special in particular because this was before I had gotten anything, before anything was clicking, and I just found myself hanging out with Scott Thompson.”
“'Baskets' is incredible - 'Baskets' is so funny and poignant and sad and dark.”
“I like a nice, crisp pilsner or lager.”
“I'm a military history buff.”
“Sometimes you just need words on a page to memorize.”
“My nerdy pursuits are more like video games, Dungeons and Dragons, stuff like that.”
“I repurposed an old World War II merchant ship door into one of the best coffee tables you have ever seen. I have also made little cabinets and media centers.”
“I don't think anyone sets out to be the evil villain.”
“I'm a bit of a curmudgeon. I don't like Valentine's Day and New Year's and Halloween.”
“I've always been a gamer. I play a version of Dungeons & Dragons.”
“Over the years, I've had a slight ebbing and flowing of confidence in my non-comedic role abilities.”
“Both the benefit and the terrifying aspect of standup is when it's going poorly, you've only yourself to blame. There's no one to bail you out. But when it's going great, all that approval is for you.”
“I know, for myself, I probably work a lot better in that - in the group environment. Only because if I am coming up short, someone else helps.”
