I wanted to be like 'Kids in the Hall.'
I just grew up liking computers and stuff like that. Mainly cool stuff, like video games.
I'm not in Hollywood because I'm good at math.
I laugh at stuff like Snapchat thinking it can change the world.
I'm more nerdy in a sense of, like, video games and Dungeons and Dragons and Renaissance Faire. But not nerdy in a sense that I know how to create apps.
There's all these little bubbles of nerddom.
I grew up on '80s action movies... Jean Claude Van Damme, Schwarzenegger, Stallone... If there were ever some opportunity to do that, it'd be great.
I have a fairly pragmatic view on all those bullies that came before, because everybody makes you who you are now.
I got into performing fairly young and went from, like, a shy kid to a total weirdo.
I met Mike Judge when I was working on my own cartoon for MTV; it did not air. But I got on with Mike and then did a few voices on 'Beavis and Butt-Head' because of it.
All the sharky elements of Hollywood are similar to sharky elements in Silicon Valley. It's obviously different, but the deals are the same. And you get hot, then you're not.
When you're on film or TV, essentially you're in front of the camera. Unless it's a Tim Burton thing, the desire is to be real and grounded.
Even if things are going well, I'm always thinking that I'm about to be hit with the dreaded gut punch and - psych! - I'll find out that it's all falling apart.
I'm a total pessimist.
I watched Season 1 through 9 of 'Seinfeld' bloopers one day, just having a ball. It's fun to see people having fun.
I'm going to be all over your TV for the foreseeable future.
The show is not really about finding love in Silicon Valley, and it never really claimed be so.
If you think 'Game of Thrones' throws around some erroneous, unnecessary nudity, wait til you see 'Silicon Valley.'
I've spoken to people in Silicon Valley, and many times they have said to me, 'X storyline, or that thing that happened in your show - pretty much verbatim has happened to me.' And it's either identical or similar enough to be scary.
My interests in the world of technology are mainly video games, but I like tech as a means to help solve big issues, such as the demands on natural resources.
