“I think we're the only jokeless show on television. I mean really, we have no setups and no punch lines. It's not a joke show. There are funny lines and funny moments but again the comedy is born of the human experience and awkward pauses are a great part of what it is to be human.”

“I've always been terrible on regular sitcoms with lots of jokes. I don't know how to tell jokes.”

“I don't want to sound pretentious, but I love art, I like to go to museums, and I like to read books.”

“At school I was always taller than the rest of my class, and because I was an only child, I was comfortable with adults but shy and awkward with other kids. I was quiet, bookish, and in spite of my size, hopeless at sports. In short, I was different. And even in the earliest grades, I got pounded for it.”

“It is really awkward to see myself on screen.”

“I've always felt myself to be an outsider. I've always felt awkward.”
