Quote
1 I need to lose some weight. I’m getting really fat. But I’m getting older, and I just can’t stop eating wonderful food. Rich, wonderful food.
2 I never pursued acting with, like, auditions. If anything, I was given roles by people who knew me and liked what I did.
3 It’s physically hard for me to work. I start to break down, physically. My joints start. I get weepy eyes. I don’t sleep well. I was never a hard worker, I guess. So the voiceover work ethic is really great for me – couple days a month, two hours a day.
4 Cute girls and burgers. What more can you ask for? That’s why we live in America.
5 I’m not opposed to putting myself in danger for meaningless comedy.
6 I’ve learned to wait ’til an idea is worth making. That’s not really a lesson I’ve learned; I sort of always did it that way. But there’s no reason or need to make videos prior to when you make a show, because then you need material for it.
7 I’ve never worked for a show or was on a show where I didn’t have a lot of control creatively, but then again, I haven’t worked on a lot of shows.
8 I started doing comedy with no plan to do voice work. Voice work came as a function of doing comedy and meeting people who eventually develop shows like that. I didn’t seek out from an early age to be on cartoons.
9 If you do nothing long enough, something’s bound to happen.
Fact
1 Is best friends with David Cross.

3 Member of acclaimed comedy troupes “Cross Comedy” and “Comedy Lab” from Cambridge, Massachusetts.
4 Grew up in Worcester, Massachusetts.
