Carrie Battan: Social media was a big focus of your comedy early on — you had some hilarious correspondences with fans, but you've moved away from that, too.
Aziz Ansari: I'd rather focus on writing stand-up or scripts than Twitter, you know what I mean? What do you want to devote your time to? I never had the desire to be a professional Twitterer. Every now and then something dumb pops into my head and I'll tweet it. I don't feel any obligation to respond to everyone. Not that I don't appreciate people sending me messages on there, but there are too many. Responding to everyone would take away time for all the stuff I'm actually in the business for.
