“I'm not actually motivated by trying to help anyone or make other people go to therapy. My only aim is that people experience joy, and to be as funny as possible, by telling the truth. Anything else is a result that I'm fine with. And I'm really pleased with! But it would be a lie to say I'm motivated by healing the world.”
