Bo Burnham

I don't think I've had a job since I worked for my father's construction company.

I like the idea of conceiving a show and putting on a show, and especially when I got to the place where I could play theaters.

Uncharted territory is a good place to be in.

I'm clearly doing what I want. I hope kids can see my act and feel like they can be slightly more comfortable in their own skin because I'm being so ridiculously comfortable in mine. I'm not that comfortable in my skin the moment I walk offstage. But I try to project that while I'm on it.

Even in movies like 'Superbad,' they're all lovable kids.

I'm still a kid in his bedroom, writing songs and playing them.

I don't mind having 16-year-old fans, but I hate just having 16-year-old fans. I want more diversity.

I've come across people referring to themselves as 'Vine famous.' Some of them started out by putting up Vines just for fun, then all of a sudden they get a bunch of fans, and a week later their Vines are totally different. They become obsessed with how their videos will be perceived.

I feel lucky, where I'm not 'famous' famous. I'm not someone that everyone kind of knows for no reason. If people know who I am, they like me because if they didn't like me, they forgot about me.

I've kind of stopped valuing laughter as the end-all measurement of what I'm doing.

I was being called a shock comic. I hated that. It's so cheap and stupid.

A lot of my fans are really young and seem slightly unsure and nervous about things. Hopefully for young people watching my show, it comes away that I'm pretty weird up there.
