kids two laughing
As a kid I watched television 24 hours a day and loved every minute of it. The two shows that always make me laugh and are therefore my favourites are The Dick Van Dyke Show and Fawlty Towers.
hey faces
Hey, come on, I've seen younger faces on money. Money.
mean names people
Hi. There was a big accident, some people got decapitated, here are their names... You know what? That shirt really makes you look fat. I mean, the colour's all wrong... I mean, who shot the drapes?
trust guarantees-in-life everything-happens-for-a-reason
When I'm on stage, it's a little world I've created where I'm sort of the thing, so I have total control over everything that happens. When we're improvising, I'm with someone I totally trust. I know things are going to work out. I don't have those guarantees in life. There are no consequences on stage.
fbi-agents agents kind
What kind of FBI agent are you?
hard-work discipline talent
To be a dramatic writer takes hard work, talent, and discipline. And that's why I just make up crap.
audience grown mean sad walking
When I think about it, I mean really, I'm 47, I should be embarrassed by this. A grown man, barefoot, walking on mousetraps, just to get an audience to laugh. It's sad in a way.
cry everybody harder
Comedy is such a personal thing. Everybody can cry at the same thing, but it's a lot harder to get everyone to laugh at the same thing.
change
Hey, Ryan, if Sting retires, will he change his name to Stung?
gogh van
I have many favorite artists... Van Gogh as one, but he didn't really sing a lot!
god
My god! It's a hamster with explosives taped around it's waist!
bruce people sue threatened
The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, these are just some of the people who threatened to sue if we used their songs.
quite trying
I'm quite shy. Really. I'm trying to expand myself as a person more, get involved with people.
jeff suggested
My agent, Jeff Andrews, suggested I write a book. For some reason. he doesn't like it when I'm not doing anything.
