I always turn to Wendy Williams when there's any type of ethical or moral crisis in our country.

If you're faking it, people will know, and it's going to turn a lot of people off.

If a comedian has a strong following, and the branded segment feels different compared to what you typically do, people will know right away that it's not authentic to who you are as a comedian or performer. Brands need to keep that in mind.

I don't want to do something that's watered down. I don't want to take what I'm known for and dilute it.

I haven't done many commercials, and I'm very picky about it because it comes down to creative control.

People going off on politics on Grindr is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. That's an immediate sign to run in the other direction.

I'm not a bro.

I'm on all the apps: Tinder, Grindr, Bumble, Scruff. I have no shame about that.

I grew up in New York, so I had a lot of access to all kinds of movies, and I would handwrite reviews of them on loose-leaf paper.

All I wanted to do as a kid was go to the post-Oscar parties I was seeing on 'Entertainment Tonight.'

I loved all awards shows growing up, but of course, the Oscars was the biggest one.

I took the Oscars very seriously as a child.

It's not enough for Hollywood to make a bunch of gay movies. That's obviously a big part of the equation, but then gay people have to show up for those movies.

Saying gay people shouldn't be the punchline is basically saying don't make people the punch line, which I think is ridiculous. The whole point of comedy is, on some level, to make fun of ourselves and put everything into an absurdist context.

People saw 'Moonlight' because it was excellent.

One thing that I love about 'Difficult People' is that Julie Klausner and our showrunner, Scott King, have written the lead character I play as a fully formed man.

There is no way I will survive Mike Pence doing Carpool Karaoke. What song's he gonna sing? 'I Deported Your Grandmother?'

No one was asking me to be on TV. So I made my own late-night TV talk show.

I grew up worshipping Pee-wee Herman.

I was a terrible waiter.

People come up to me all the time and say, 'I just found out about you!' Part of me is happy, and part of me is, like, Where the hell have you been?'

Facebook is weird. They have all of these seemingly random rules that I'm sure make sense to them, but don't make sense to me or any people.

If you really think you have something good, you can't take no for an answer. You've got to get in there and ignore the people who say no.

A lot of people in Hollywood, and everywhere pretty much, operate on fear. No one wants to get fired, so everyone's scared to take a chance. There's money involved, and there are careers and reputations on the line.
