Bo Burnham

Since I got an audience before I even had a comic voice, my material that really wasn't worthy of an audience somehow got it, slightly unfairly.

I just look at Miley Cyrus, and I'm like, 'Great, you've doubled your audience. But you've also doubled the number of people that hate you, and doesn't that hurt?' It takes a crazy person not to be affected by that.

I'm grateful for every stupid mistake and dumb joke I tried to make.

Being famous is complete luck, and that's something you can't bank on.

I always wanted to be a comedian and actor.

I like to joke about being gay because it's something teenagers would never joke about.

I'll stop when I think I'm not doing good stuff. I'll never exploit something just because people like it.

I always wanted to be a comedian but never thought I'd be a musical comedian.

I like to call everyone that I find slightly annoying a 'sociopath.'

The problem for us, as viewers, is that we want famous people who are passionate about the things they're famous for, because that makes them worthy of the attention. But I think many of those famous people just want to be famous.

I've always liked TV shows that have slightly unlikable leads, where you root for them in spite of a lot of things. I know it's not common with shows with young people; they have to be so likable. But, I mean, teenagers just generally aren't very likable. I know I wasn't as a teenager.

I've always liked the format of YouTube, sharing things for free, which is a nice exchange between people.
