Everyone's first thought is "These women are going to take advantage of you" or "Someone's only going to date you because you're famous." That stuff's not really an issue because that's super-easy to see through.
I've never done online dating.
It's much more fun to share and laugh at the bad times and the frustrations. I find you get a much deeper connection with the audience that way.
When you meet someone you really like and connect with, I think that's very special, and not to be taken for granted.
I'm so jealous of people who have crushes on people they go to school with, or work with. That's such a blessing. You actually get to see them all the time and spend time with them.
I just think it's sad that the main places in our culture that we designate to meet new people are bars and nightclubs..
In this era, we have more choice than any group of people ever. When you are out at night, anyone in the universe can contact you instantly. Think about how crazy that is compared to even a few decades ago.
I was surprised to learn that research showed arranged couples tended to be happier in the long run.
I think absurdist humor is funny...
I prefer being totally sober myself.
It can take a few months to get a new 10 minutes. Usually it takes like 10 times of repeatedly trying different variations of a joke until I land on one I think is really good.
Once you become a comedian, you accept that people are just going to yell stuff at you.
I have no interest in art. Let me clarify — I have no interest in non-nude images.
I just didn’t want to be pigeonholed as an 'ethnic comic' or an 'Asian comic.' I just wanted to be on the same playing field as everyone else.
