'The Simpsons' is still my favorite show. I have a really strong connection to it.

It's funny: I put money into short films, and I put really good actors in it, and I write some stuff that's really funny, and I'll get, like, a million views. But to the right of me, there will be a video of a kitten that falls into a toilet bowl, and it's three seconds long, and it will get 25 million views.

From Ben Schwartz

At the very beginning, I was a page at Letterman, and I freelanced for any place that would let me write any word. I wanted to do this so badly. Then when I got a tiny bit of success, I was petrified that I was going to lose it.

From Ben Schwartz

The perfect thing for me is to be on something I love, where I'm doing it and have enough money not to be poor, and I'm allowed to go on vacation.

From Ben Schwartz

I love video games. When I was growing up, video games were very important to me.

From Ben Schwartz

I think it's always super exciting to watch something before you can see it in theaters.

From Ben Schwartz

I love doing comedy. One of my favorite things in the world is to do 'Parks and Recreation'; a big fun character.

From Ben Schwartz

When I do the roles, when I'm in the room and auditioning, I'll ask the director if they're cool with me adding stuff, or just improvising while we're doing it. And I would say, like, 90 percent of the time, they say, 'Absolutely.'

From Ben Schwartz

I hope I don't get driven to the point where, to be honest, I'm never satisfied. I hope there's some part of me that can be content.

From Ben Schwartz

Live-action is more fun for me, because you're acting with people. When you do voice-acting, many times you're not even in the room with the person that you're acting with.
