cooking want garbage
I don't enjoy cooking when I'm high. And I don't want to be eating garbage because then I'll feel gross.
cities use alternatives
Biking is a good alternative. Use the city as your gym.
tv-shows two tvs
I'm not going to watch two TV shows with vaginas in them unless somebody tells me why they're different!
nice comedy wanted
That's what's nice about being on Comedy Central. You can't show your boobs even if you wanted to.
kissing comedy feels
The nude thing, I don't know. It's sillier somehow. It's more like physical comedy. But kissing someone, it feels invasive to have everybody watching me.
fighting people watches
I don't want to watch people fighting.
real get-real edibles
You can get real wacky on edibles.
weed believe people
I'm surprised when people who don't usually smoke weed are into edibles. I can't believe that.
decided investing nyu trusted
I decided I would go to NYU so I could get into the comedy world and have legit housing, and my parents would not have trusted investing in a straight-up comedy career.
belief directly hate improv miss nerve system watching works
I miss improv. I hate it in a way - watching it, doing it - but only because it's so challenging and nerve wracking. Improv is the only belief system I've ever experienced that directly works on how to be. Just how to be.
awesome believe experience people reach takes whatever
If people believe in your material, they will do whatever it takes to get it done. Even if they don't, but you make it as awesome an experience as possible, they will help you reach your goals.
calls improv performance starting themselves vessel
The thing about the performance part... starting with improv and standup, you're starting with yourself as the character, and I don't feel as much like, 'Oh, I'm a vessel for -' I feel like someone who calls themselves an actor is a vessel.
kids
All my brother Eliot and I did as kids was film sketches.
characters fun process reflects rushing
What's fun is that the characters in 'Broad City' are rushing and hustling, and our process reflects that.
