I acted in high school and studied at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford for one summer. I minored in theater, and I was always acting growing up and stuff, but really, I was just more interested in the comedy of it all. So for me, it's always comedy, and then acting is just one medium of comedy.

Hosting is a thankless job.

One of the exciting things about an entanglement puzzle is there's no end to it. Once you solve how to take it apart, you have to solve how to put it back together.

I like hip-hop, but I don't like concerts. There's, like, sweat on people's backs.

Slowly but surely, I went through different phases of fame, and each rises you further into isolation and alienation.

I'm so absolutely pro-Denver. I wrote a fake hip-hop song about Denver. I've been claiming Denver. Part of the joke of the song is nobody was really claiming Denver - no rappers, no comedians.

To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.

I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.

It doesn't matter to me if I'm in love with my performance, so I watch all of my performances to understand and learn from them and figure out what's working and what's not. And I see the movies that I'm in in the theater a lot.

Extract' was kind of a grown up 'Office Space' in the sense of talking about the ennui of being a successful person in America if you don't have some real passion in your life for something to care about.

There's nothing I would love more than to host an awards show where I'm nominated for an award - that is so funny to me.
