Quotes from the show:
"I have a love for performance and acting where you can't see the threads."
"I think there's a very transcendent thing that's happening when you're free of those wires... there's a zone of sorts that feels a bit like flying."
"UCB teaches students, 'Here's how you find funny...'"
"When things are unusual... when they tend to have a juxtaposition, they tend to have a reaction within you."
