song
The idea of a Chicago band that wanted to sing songs about California is really funny. Having never been to California.
comedy failing not-afraid
Comedy is incredibly hard. You have to be loose. You have to be not afraid to fail.
insane-person world favorites-things
A person being patient with an insane person is my favorite thing in the world.
stories driving emotion
All the stories have to do with emotion. Emotion is driving everything.
kids embarrassed
My kids, they're always embarrassed when my voice shows up in something.
yeah improvising
Yeah, improvising only really works 100% when you're with somebody.
mistake stupid thinking
No one knows anything. You're going to make mistakes and you're going to do things that people think are stupid. You can't sit there and go, "I never want to make a mistake."
nice moving coffee
I move out here, and next thing I know I'm 25, and the only thing I've heard is, 'Can you get a coffee, can you hurry up with the thing, blah blah blah.' It was nice doing something and hearing someone go, 'Hey, you're good at this.'
character italian names
I really enjoyed playing Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show host. He was the first character I ever came up with where I gave him a name and a way of dressing.
thinking forgiving able
If you can't forgive yourself, you think you're never going to be able to forgive yourself.
people television enough
Oddly enough, I have really bad stage fright - getting up in front of people. And I made a living going on live television.
writing wells accord
I always felt better co-writing something - always co-writing. Because if I was the lead of it and it failed, then it failed on my own accord. I would say, "Well, I liked it or I screwed up. I take the hit on this one."
chilling dramatic films home life private watch work
To be honest, I watch way more dramatic films when I'm chilling at home. I think when you work in comedy, you just want something different in your private life. Makes you feel balanced, I guess.
face
Let's face it: I look pretty out of shape.
