I did not move to New York with a plan. The first time I moved to New York, I just popped up. My sister was living here in New York. I just popped up.

I never have written a movie, but there are some bad movies out there. I can make one. I definitely want to get into that because that's how you, at my level, would get a lead in a movie - by writing a low budget thing for myself. So I gotta get to it. Hannibal Buress badbudgetgotta share on social
