Jim Norton and Harland Williams always make me laugh.
I can do more than just stand-up comedy, and the only way I'll be able to show that is if I do it myself. Because nobody trusts that I can do it.
You have to have a strong sense of humor to date me, and also know that you're probably going to be a part of the routine quite a bit.
I've always read books and loved human behavior since I was ten or twelve years old. Maybe even that's why I wanted to do comedy.
I'm shooting a pilot based on my show. It's a one-camera show. I play myself.
I did stand-up comedy for seventeen years. I need to explore other things.
Sometimes, when a person gains a lot of success at a very young age, they become targets, and it's really easy to follow the crowds and not make independent decisions based on truly how you feel.
I work with a lot of kids. Every year, for the past fifteen years, I work at Comedy Camp where I work with a lot of kids.
I don't know if I could rebuild an airplane engine, but I know a little bit about rotors and rivets.
I was doing comedy in laundry mats in 1992, literally where I would bring a little gorilla amp and a lapel mike and just start performing.
Even when I go to a salad bar, I need to feel like I'm one of the first people there.
I'm quitting the business today. I'm going to open up an appliance store, I've always really been into toasters. I'm giving it all up.
I've lived in LA for so long, I don't even know what is real and what isn't any more.
Anger has a way of seeping into every other emotion and planting itself in there.
