I actually really like being in the woods.

I think I hang out with some pretty witty people, but we're never that funny.

I have an aversion to comedy where everybody speaks in punchlines.

Success is for creeps.

I started out making fun of comedy. Then I became the thing I was making fun of.

I've always been battling this perception people have of me, this character. It follows me around. 'Bubba the Bear' shows up when I'm checking into a hotel, when I'm on a plane. I can't get upset with people if they're only aware of a small part of my body of work. But inside I do.

I'm making movies about people as flawed as myself and the viewers. So if you just have a reptilian brain and live your life simply by reacting to things, my movies aren't going to work for you.

I like to go to the movies and watch characters who make me question how I see the world.

The movies I make don't take place in reality.

I'm not into comedies that are joke-driven.

I didn't feel ever that people needed to know who I was.

My heroes, growing up, were people like Andy Kaufman and Groucho Marx and people that very rarely drop the persona.

I started doing comedy when I was a teenager with Tom Kenny, who is the voice of SpongeBob. I don't want to name drop, but, I've known him since I was 6.

I really like 'Disaster Artist.'

I like movies that don't fit in a category. Like, 'Get Out' - that was one of my favorite movies in a long time, and what is that?

I like genre films.

I'm kind of a dummy. I make movies and not realize until afterwards, 'Oh, I'm the protagonist.'

Listen, you ignorant hillbillies, Lynyrd Skynyrd's dead. They're dead, they're dead, they're dead. The South's not risin' again. The slaves have been emancipated.

I don't watch that much television.

The acting is better when you know your material is being judged.

I made people laugh as a kid, but that's not how you make a living.

The greatest comedian I've ever seen is Jack Benny. He wasn't afraid of the silences.

Stammering is different than stuttering. Stutterers have trouble with the letters, while stammerers trip over entire parts of a sentence. We stammerers generally think of ourselves as very bright.

Comedians are innately programmed to pick up oddities like mispronounced words, upside-down books on a shelf, and generally undetectable mistakes in everyday life.
