We just sort of thought a Web series would be a cool thing to be able to send to our parents to show them that we were, in fact, actually doing comedy. ”

I started getting really interested in comedy when I was in middle school. ”

You know all those young people watching Comedy Central love 'Frasier.' ”

I feel like comedy had a boys'-club label when we were starting. ”

Before 'Broad City,' I had a lot of jobs that I knew were not for me, but when you're young and don't know exactly what you're going to do, if an opportunity comes up, you feel like, 'This is an opportunity; I have to try it.' ”

I definitely started to perform a little bit in middle school, but not the typical musical/play route. I think that I am funny, but it was more of a social thing, where that was my part in my circle of friends. ”

I'm not super, super religious. If this is okay to say, I'm more culturally Jewish. ”

It's very natural and simple to me, drawing, because I've drawn since I was a kid. It's just the most normal thing for me to do. And it's very meditative. ”

I'm from Philadelphia, and I go to Philly a bunch throughout the holidays, which is my only time to see my family, so we get pretty festive around that time of year. It's also the only time I have vacation. ”

I'm so thankful for that struggling period. That time is really great where you have no idea what's going to happen. ”
