I would say what Mad Men has taught me has been a super elevated evaluation of text in general, and understanding subtext, and understanding where a character comes from - what he means by this or by that.

For the beginning of my career, I was always playing people younger than me.

I live in Los Angeles, which is the youngest place - there's no history to Los Angeles. Everything's fake.

I was a weird kid.

I wanted to be a vet before I got into comedy, but then once I found out how much gore goes into that job, I wanted nothing to do with it.

I really enjoy playing that everyman part because that part is us, the audience. And you need somebody inside a comedy to tether the absurdity to reality.

Everyone recognizes that's a joke because obviously the number and shape of the pieces doesn't affect the size of the pizza. And similarly, the stocks, bonds, warrants, etc., issued don't affect the aggregate value of the firm.

There's a thing in comedy where you take one step into a bad idea, but if you take 10, then it becomes a good idea again.
