“I have a tough time with stand-up because I am an improviser. I can ri...” — T. J. Miller Quote

I have a tough time with stand-up because I am an improviser. I can riff; I can do crowd work, so I don't prepare.

There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy. But I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.

I think by now if people hire me, they know I'm going to improvise. I'm an improviser by trade.

Gentrification always makes me laugh. People complain about traffic. Live in Atlanta! You can't have it both ways; you can't live in an incredible city and not expect it to get congested.

I feel a strong affinity to Ke$ha and Katy Perry and a lot of these women who are really pushing the girl power femme fatale thing. It's fun, and it's unapologetic, and they tell women they can do whatever they want, and that's true, and that's a message that I want to carry, to tell girls they can do whatever they want.

I like playing in front of the crowd and get them into it.

I will always do what I want to do and I won't go with the crowd.

I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.

I used to first go on to entertain an audience. But now I go, and this is really true - I go on to have fun with a crowd of my chums.

For whatever reason, it's easier to perform in front of a massive crowd than in front of a small one, but again, that's how we came up.
