I drank the Kool-Aid of being a network star. Once it didn't happen, I realized it wasn't the best version of my comedy.
I feel like everyone wants to make a movie that they feel passionate about watching.
I grew up in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts and went to college in Washington D.C.
I love Broadway shows.
I was raised Catholic, and then I kind of wandered away somewhere in high-school. I never got confirmed, which is a big deal.
I'm incapable of feeling any joy.
I've found, being in Los Angeles, it's like living in a live-action Planet Hollywood.
I've yet to write a stand-up show that isn't autobiographical.
In some sense, Comedy Central has made their audience into comedy connoisseurs.
Jokes are so personal, and they bring us together in so many ways.
Making a film is beyond exciting. It's so exciting, it's exhausting.
My last name has the word 'big' in it. It seems like a logical progression that if you shed away the Bir and the lia, I'll just be Big.
Once you know how to make a movie, you can't not make a movie.
