I Think Comedy Has To

I'm Always In Situations Where You Can't Be Funny, And Yet I Want To Do It Anyway.

I Think, You Know, I'm German, And Um, Probably Not Very Expressive In My Emotions.

The Thing That Struck Me Is So Many People That Said, "hey, I've Been Watching You Since I Was 12, And I'm 25 Now." It Was A Weird Shift, Because You Start Off Fighting For An Audience Based On Doing Something So Strange That Only You Find Funny, And It's Weird When Other People Find It Funny. Those People Aren't Always Ready To Laugh Yet, And There's A Sort Of Standoffish Quality To It.

I Used To Work In An Office In New York For This Terrible Company, And We Used To Have Staff Meetings, And I Would Just Count How Many Times The Boss Would Use The Phrase "in Terms Of." And He Would Say It Like 30 Or 40 Times. And Sometimes He Would Just Say It. He'd Be Like, "uhh, In Terms Of, How Are We Doing With That?" I Realized Nobody Knows What They're Talking About. Everyone's Bullshitting. Maybe Not Everybody, But Certainly A Lot Of People.

When I Was In College In Philly, There Was A Lot Of Post-punks Hardcore Like, Rock. Sixties, Retro, Proto-strokes Kind Of Bands.
