One of the things about being a boy, especially growing up without a father, is you really don't have that role model to teach you how to do things.

I like older people; I think older people have a lot of flavor.

My goal is to make my kids as happy as possible.

I still fall back a lot on my Les Paul, and there is just no getting away from a Les Paul and a hot pickup.

A friend of mine wrote a script, a feminist romantic comedy. She had a feminist scholar consult on it. My friend said, 'Oh, my friend Gillian read it and really loved it.' She goes, 'Gillian Jacobs, you mean: Britta Perry, feminist icon?'

The minute I started doing comedy, the doors opened.

Funny is as funny does, and funny puts on a walrus mask and slowly gyrates in a mall food court. I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

In the second grade, I would just get bored and a joke would pop into my head and I would have to say it. It was almost like I had some brilliant novel in my head that I had to get down, and I would interrupt class all the time and get in trouble.
