• I think art is beautiful. It's decoration and adornment. But art is also a really important vessel for social change, and social change begins with thought.

I think that's a really important way of carrying on with life. I think the best art for me is funny and the best comedy for me is art. Some of my favorite artists are comedians. Comedy is art, and art can be comedy, and the intersection is vital - at least for my own work.
