I'm scared of slipping up, of just doing a joke that makes me laugh.
If I try to cover too much ground, you start to get watered down and less interesting.
It wasn't a cutdown to call someone a Mexican. It would kill my career to refer to someone as Mexican today. It's like calling me an American.
I talk to my dad all the time, he's more like my buddy than my father, and he's not happy that I use him in my act. But I tell him, I have to get something out of this.
I got into stand-up to get on a sitcom.
Everyone is so weird in L.A. that if you're somewhat normal, it's exotic.
To be famous and broke is hard.
I'm like a Dilbert cartoon.
I've got to get on myself to be sharp, funny and loose.
In grade school I was smart, but I didn't have any friends. In high school, I quit being smart and started having friends.
My fellow nerds and I will retire to the nerdery with our calculators.
To make money I picked up work as a busboy, valet parker, skateboard shop employee.
Single guys get a bad rap.
It's hard to have a career.
