Quote
1
I always felt like such an outsider, always existing on the periphery, and I am really grateful for that. Starting from a place of normalcy or mainstream, you don't get the same gumption or drive that you do from the fringes.
2
[on Portlandia (2011)] Even if the show is divisive, that to me is a more interesting kind of art to make than something that people never talk about or think about.
