The beauty of not growing up middle class is that you don't think like the middle class. You don't have anything to protect, you know what I mean?

At the end of the day, my career is not going to be judged by one or two or three moments in time. It'll be judged by the longevity of it.

Guys like Rogan literally want to ruin my career. That's unbelievably cruel and hurtful, and I never want to be that guy.

I never want to forget that my job is to make people laugh.

It's self-effacing, it's hard-luck, the shtetl stories. All those Coasters things are an amalgam of Yiddish and black humor.

I grew up in a bit of a vacuum. And as a kid, you see 'Monty Python's Flying Circus' and you're like, 'Oh, it's a cartoon.' There's mixed media. It's funny, and there's stop-motion.
