There's Something So Scary About

I Think The World Is Changing And All That Matters Is That I'm Creating Things.

I Think Watching Too Much Tv As A Kid Led Me To Being Very Uncomfortable In New Situations. To This Day, When I Drop My Kids Off At School, I Still Feel Like I'm In 9th Grade And I'm Uncomfortable And Insecure. Like Anyone Is Paying Any Attention.

I Loved Working In Stand-up, And I Always Dreamed That I Could Make A Movie About It. I Didn't Know If I Would Have The Courage To, Because If You Make A Bad Movie About Stand-up, Then Comedians Will Mock You For The Rest Of Your Life. They're Still Mad About Movies Made 25 Years Ago. But It Was Always A Dream Of Mine, And I Was Glad I Finally Came Up With An Idea That Allowed Me To Explore It In Such A Way That It's Not All About Stand-up, But Stand-up Creates A Great Backdrop For Another Type Of Story.

I've Always Appreciated People Like Graham Parker Or Loudon Wainwright Iii, Who Spend Their Entire Lives Writing Songs And Working Their Asses Off Just To Have Complete Artistic Freedom. They're Just Sharing Their Lives With You Through Their Music. That's The Same Kind Of Work That I'm Trying To Do, In My Own Weird Way.

I Feel Like It's A Golden Age For Television.
