Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut.
— T. J. Miller
Funny is as funny does, and funny puts on a walrus mask and slowly gyrates in a mall food court. I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.
I know about the tech industry in that I follow what apps are hot and software development. I know my way around different browsers. I know how to restart a computer.
Stuff that I write isn't as similar to the stuff that I'm in, but I don't really care. I just do comedy.

I acted in high school and studied at the British American Drama Academy in Oxford for one summer. I minored in theater, and I was always acting growing up, but really, I was just more interested in the comedy of it all.
It's always fun to agree to be in a movie when you have no idea what it's actually going to be!
I don't sit and write stand-up material; I come up with an idea onstage.
I love mispronunciations. I love when people mispronounce things.
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.
'Yogi Bear' changed my life in ways that I can't explain because it's not a full feature on me. 'Yogi Bear' - there's everything before 'Yogi Bear,' and there's everything after 'Yogi Bear.' Like a major car accident, or the birth of Christ.
I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.
I have perfectly symmetrical ankles.
Always remember: My general theme is 'There is no message.' There never has been. Stop trying to find the message or the meaning in everything. That's. My. Theme.
My father really told me, seriously, if you want something, you can have it, but you may have to work harder than anyone else around you.
I don't really know how to act that much. I'm quite good at comedy, but it's mostly acting naturally.
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 love writing but not crazy meticulous/prepared enough to be a director. I'd work as a gaffer on something.
