My dad was listening to me noodle around on the guitar in the house and sing, and he was like, 'Man, you're funny, and you sound good when you do that. You should do that at a bar.' I had stage fright, so I was like, 'No, Dad. Leave me alone.'

It's a funny thing. I'll be in my home town of Columbus at a restaurant or something, and the waiter maybe asks, 'What do you do?' and I say, 'Oh, I'm in a band... Twenty One Pilots,' and he'll say, 'Cool, I'll check it out. I never heard of them.' And then I say, 'In September we're playing the Schottenstein Center,' and it's like, 'What?!'

Vatsal is mature and funny and working with him is a wonderful experience and when co-actors are good they help you with the role and he is very positive and it is very comfortable working with him.

I got a wrestling ring downstairs in my basement. We did this thing where we were running the ropes and Billy Gunn was shooting us with a paintball gun, and he caught me right on the top of the dome, right here. It was just funny; it was a funny sight to see Billy Gunn hanging out with a bunch of skaters.

That's the funny thing about time. It is only in looking back that it's easy to connect the dots. To see exactly why everything needed to happen the way that it did.

Humor has to surprise us; otherwise, it isn't funny. It's a death knell for a writer to be labeled a humorist because then it's not a surprise anymore.

I grew up a skinny kid with a funny last name and coke bottle glasses, so I experienced my fair share of bullies. But I learned, with the help of humor and resilience, to never give up.

I was a business major at the University of Richmond, and after I graduated, I took a job at a corporate ad agency. I had comedic dreams, but I also had a realistic look at what I had to do when I left school: maybe I'm funny, but maybe I'm one of a hundred thousand funny people, you know?

I'm a funny person, but I take my music seriously.

I know what Germans are. They are a funny people. They are always choosing someone to lead them in a direction which they do not want to go.
