T. J. MILLER

There's sketch, improv, writing, acting, music, and badminton. Those are the seven forms of comedy.

I consider myself a fairly ethical individual while I do have a lot of dichotomies within me. We're all victims of our own hypocrisy at times.

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.

I'm always so amazed by which performances work really, really well and which ones don't. But I think it's just mostly, 'She's Out Of My League,' so many people saw that movie on DVD and on the plane. Just millions of people saw that movie. That's the reason I'm somewhat famous.

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.

I don't sit and write stand-up material; I come up with an idea onstage.

Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut.

I love mispronunciations. I love when people mispronounce things.

I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.

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 have perfectly symmetrical ankles.

By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.

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.

I love writing but not crazy meticulous/prepared enough to be a director. I'd work as a gaffer on something.

To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.

I was the Head Boy of East High School in 1999. I represent 303 - the area code, not the band - Mile High, until I die. I'm 31, a comedian; I juggle, but I don't glove it. I think waxed mustaches run a very thin line between hipster and 1800s barkeep.

I drink a fair amount of ramen noodles.

I think it is very important to be a method actor.

It doesn't matter to me if I'm in love with my performance, so I watch all of my performances to understand and learn from them and figure out what's working and what's not. And I see the movies that I'm in in the theater a lot.

You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.

Every time I could possibly be doing stand up, I am.

'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 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.

It's much better to wreak havoc on a show and be a maniac than promote myself. Plugs and anecdotes aren't really in line with my beliefs. Besides, if someone sees me on a morning show and thinks, 'That's not funny; this guy is crazy,' then I don't want them to come to the show anyway.

It's okay to take yourself too seriously if you're a serious actor and you've got the scrubs on. And then with me, it's kind of like, well, I'm a comedian, I'm making fun of everybody and everything. And I'm making fun of myself. I'm having fun making fun of and for other people.
