‘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.
