Being an outsider helps breed comedy. ”

Usually, impersonations come out of something you dig, because you're listening to it over and over. And you kind of start developing... You're really trying to emulate them, then you realize, 'I sound ridiculous doing this. Oh, hey, maybe this is a funny impersonation.' ”

Animation is very similar to sketch comedy: you have a short amount of time to do something big and ridiculous and funny. ”

People who have picture-perfect upbringings and lives tend not to be funny. I don't think they write from a position of pain. ”

Getting On' is just the coolest experience ever, and working with people like Laurie Metcalf, that's the joy. That's what I love about it. ”

I was kind of the comic relief in my household. We had a chronic illness in the family. And so, a lot of emergency room visits, and my role was to be silly and add levity, and we're Jewish. So every Passover is a performance. You kind of learn to role play and do voices at the Passover Seder. ”

Amy Sherman-Palladino is very funny. She's got just natural timing and comedic instinct. And she writes in a comedic rhythm. ”

I have no point in my system or morals where I say, 'This is too far.' ”

I don't want pictures of my kids anywhere. I don't tweet pictures of my kids. I don't put them on any social media. I definitely do like to keep some privacy that way. And mostly, it's fear-based; people are crazy. ”
