Life is hard. Not great. Kind of tragic.

My face is oblong. But the best grooming is confidence.

Comedy gives you a shot of euphoria that distracts you from everything that's awful.
T. J. Miller -
Mike Judge usually receives underwhelming acclaim for his movies when they come out; it takes a while for people to catch up.
T. J. Miller -
I wouldn't want to be Superman. Batman would be cool. But the one I've always wanted to play is the Joker. There is a maniacal and dangerous side to me.
T. J. Miller -
It's okay to take yourself too seriously if you're a serious actor and you've got the scrubs on. And then with me, it's kind of like, well, I'm a comedian, I'm making fun of everybody and everything. And I'm making fun of myself. I'm having fun making fun of and for other people.

I actually prefer Twitter as a medium, and I also got into Periscope for a second, but I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. I can't figure out if the only important thing about it is the live broadcast, or if it's an interesting kind of way to log what you do.

Effective satire has to be almost identical to the subject that it is skewering.

Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut.
T. J. Miller -
I do believe that in the future there will be a movie called 'Deadpool vs. Wolverine'.
T. J. Miller -
I don't know that I would host the Golden Globes or the Emmys because I don't think they have the appreciation for irreverence that the Critics Choice does.
T. J. Miller -
To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.
T. J. Miller -
I'm always so amazed by which performances work really, really well and which ones don't. But I think it's just mostly, 'She's Out Of My League,' so many people saw that movie on DVD and on the plane. Just millions of people saw that movie. That's the reason I'm somewhat famous.
T. J. Miller -
By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.

I'm not, like, an action-hero guy.
T. J. Miller -
I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.
T. J. Miller -
Mike Judge is my Jonathan Swift, and I say that because I don't know any other satirists. But the problem with satire is that it's so easily misinterpreted.
T. J. Miller -
I like when people don't know what to expect.
T. J. Miller -
When you spend such a large portion of your life working - and it's not fun, and you're worried about getting sued or fired for saying the wrong thing or for acting crazy at a work party - then what has work done to America? That's the impetus to have a huge office Christmas party.
T. J. Miller -
It's much better to wreak havoc on a show and be a maniac than promote myself. Plugs and anecdotes aren't really in line with my beliefs. Besides, if someone sees me on a morning show and thinks, 'That's not funny; this guy is crazy,' then I don't want them to come to the show anyway.

'Silicon Valley' is a great show. It might be the best comedy on television. And if the Academy feels I have stood out to the point of deserving an award, I won't pawn it.
T. J. Miller -
Is it possible to have negative self-awareness?
T. J. Miller -
If you're a comedian, you can change peoples lives for the better in much smaller increments - not their entire life, but for 15 minutes or a half hour.
T. J. Miller -
There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy.
