‘Esquire’ interview with Aziz Ansari

Q+A: Aziz Ansari, Overachiever – The comedian talks about his new special, what he thinks of Louis C.K., food, his fake porn venture, and why he’s so damn busy

Excerpt:
AKR: Is Buried Alive a reference to anything? It made me think of the Ryan Reynolds movie.

AA: Well, first of all, that movie’s called Buried, so that might say something about its success.

AKR: Yeah, fair enough.

AA: It came from an idea to make the poster look like these old-timey magician posters. Then I just thought about calling it Buried Alive because that sounds like a magician show title. And it also fits the themes of the show — fear of adulthood and how your life changes after you have kids and get married.

Chris Pratt interview with Complex

Excerpt:
On the secret to improvisational comedy:

“I think the key to improv is life experience and having used comedy as a defense mechanism, whether it was to get out of fights or tough situations, combating bullies or a mean parent or whatever… But I would also say that 30% of it is writing combined with lying, a couple nights before you’ve got a scene, looking at the scene and writing yourself 10 extra jokes, and then, on the day you film, saying those jokes as if you just came up with them.”
