• Catharsis isn't art. You can't rely on catharsis to get a laugh. Because guess what? People do laugh when something's shocking, but that is, to me, the absolute fakest of laughs. That's not something that sustains a television series, or a movie, or even 45 minutes of a stand-up set at Carolines.

• I work from a deep sense of insecurity. I have the belief, and I can't shake it, that there are endless reasons to turn the channel.
