Bo Burnham

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. ”

I write about what I know: teenage dating, overly charged sexuality, all the things that make you uncomfortable. ”

Once a week, I like to slip into a deep existential depression where I lose all my sense of oneness and self-worth. ”

I'd love to write a song that someone else sings that can actually sing really well. ”

When I see someone filming me, I don't usually think, 'No, man, don't put this up online!' I'd think, 'Hey man, you don't get to go to shows very often, put down the camera and enjoy it!' I love going to theatre and to shows so much. ”

I'd love to do something that doesn't have my stupid face in front of it. I feel like I've exhausted what I can do with my own face. ”

I love Tim Minchin, Bill Bailey, and Hans Teeuwen, and I'm trying to synthesise elements of theatre into my show a little bit more. ”
