I could never do stand-up because it's that thing of having to get up on stage. And out of every 10 jokes you tell, nine of them have to get a really good response.

I like the purity of stand-up because it is all about whether people laugh at your jokes. Either they laugh or they don't.

I got into stand-up because I love stand-up. Specifically in stand-up, I love jokes. I love short, structured ideas and a punch line.

I'm not a standup. I don't really have jokes. I don't have 10 minutes. It took a while for me to realize this.

I have this very abstract idea in my head. I wouldn't even want to call it stand-up, because stand-up conjures in one's mind a comedian with a microphone standing onstage under a spotlight telling jokes to an audience. The direction I'm going in is eventually, you won't know if it's a joke or not.

Doing stand-up takes the fun out of being funny.

Specifically in stand-up, I love jokes. I love short, structured ideas and a punchline.

What's great about stand-up is that you can say whatever you want and go around the country, and sometimes the world, and work on it and see how people react. You don't need Standards & Practices or notes from lawyers or producers to tell you what's funny.

With stand-up, there's a little bit of an exaggerated reality because things have to be manipulated to create comedy, to create jokes.
