It's so hard to work that I feel so lucky any time I get to work.

I have one. I may get another during the off-season, I might get my son's name but I'm not sure yet. The one I have is my Hebrew name, which I share with my grandfather, and it's not the best tattoo.

Well, I have been in physical altercations, but they weren't really fights because I am too scared and Jewish. So anytime that it gets to a point where there is gonna be a fight, I immediately apologize.

I'm not a super nervous guy in general. I don't live a ton of my life in my head.

I really want to be good at what I do.

I would like to work with challenging material. A challenge is good. If it's good material; it's a challenge.

What I love about sketch is that the writing of it is idea-based. It's not story-based. It's like, 'This is a behavior, and we're going to write, in a small sample, the funniest way to heighten this behavior.' Sitcoms or movies are about story.

If you're a suburban kid, and you're 30 minutes from New York City, that's the luckiest thing in the world.

Growing up in Livingston, New Jersey, was terrific.

It takes a lot of time to write and put up a sketch show, but that's part of who I am. I don't think that ever goes away, that sensibility - especially coming from the Upright Citizens Brigade. That's just who I am.

I would say, as I'm into my 30s, I have become a better friend because I don't need as much from my friends, and so when you don't need as much, you can be better at giving.

I think I was probably, at one point, a very needy friend, and as you grow up and you have your own life and get married or not and have kids or not, and life goes, and it grows, and you grow with it, and - I think I'm a better friend now.

I got to see Jack White. I love his new album. There's a song on the album called 'I Think I Should Go to Sleep' that my son loves. We play it on a loop around the house, and he just bounces around.

I don't really know how to build a career or what to do. But I have the instinct to keep doing different things so people can see different things.

I guess I'd like to do a straight-up drama someday down the line. But I just want to keep working.

I play guitar, and I'm a decent basketball player - people like to play on my team.

I would never put my kids in front of the camera.

I loved my time on 'The Mindy Project' so much. It was only supposed to be half a year. It was really only supposed to be one episode, and then it became three episodes, and then it became half a year, and then it became a year and a half, and then it became two years.

I think it's important that we remind everybody that America was never great in itself. It's been great in its aspirations.

I love Obama. He's my favorite president of all time.

My life goal is to find a nice balance between working for money and working for fulfillment.

I've bombed on stage millions and millions of times. And that's part of it. You go up with a half-baked idea, and you bomb, and so what? Nothing bad happens if you bomb.

My wife is an amazing mother - like, top five of all time.

'The Mindy Project' was an amazing experience. I appreciated the way they treated me from day one, and the send-off was perfect, I thought.

I love Billy Joel. I cry sometimes when I hear 'The Stranger.' 'You May Be Right' may be one of the greatest songs ever written.
