Most of my ideas just come out funny.
There’s a lot of dopes in life, and in film school. The interesting people are usually easy to find.
We, the comics that we like, we’re all, like, post-humor.
A lot of movies aren’t intended for everybody.
I have been skeptical and not trusting of traditional models of the entertainment industry. I never got a manager.
Abbott and Costello were huge for me as a very young person.
A good example of a lyric that makes me laugh but might not hit anybody right away is, “Sit behind the guitar and play the chords,” just because it’s such a lame image. It’s not rock’n’roll at all to be sitting behind a guitar.
I don’t have a big hang-up about my body.
It’s never fun to read death threats.
Online piracy needs to be dealt with itself, because people are just wholesale stealing people’s work and not paying for it. It’s very hard to figure out a way to fix it.
I always liked records that didn’t explain themselves too well – ones that you had to listen a few times.
Costumes are fun. Dress up like a pilot some night and watch as people stare!
The scariest thing about screening a comedy if you screen a drama, you know, there’s no real way to tell in real time if people are enjoying it or not. But in a comedy, it’s like, if people aren’t laughing, it’s sort of scary.
At Temple University, and I’m sure this was the way in a lot of film classes, comedy was not an option, and not considered a serious form of expression. You had to make a film about an issue.
I sort of fell out of new music. I’m old, I like what I like, and that’s that.
I’m very wary of doing political stuff for a lot of reasons. One of the big ones is that the shelf-life for them is not very long, and the joke becomes old news very quickly.
I’m always in situations where you can’t be funny, and yet I want to do it anyway.
Nobody hates hipsters more than hipsters.
In the world of ‘Tim and Eric,’ everything is big and ridiculous and absurd.
