All you wanna do in life is do what you do well. That's when you're happiest.
I should be European. I'm long and lean. I'd look good in a trench coat.
If your boss asks you why you're comin' in late, you say it's 'cause you stayed late.
I may even show up behind the camera. I love to put things together; I love to give direction. I have a great eye for pace.
I have big hands. I can't do the touch-screen thing. I'm a button guy. I want to press buttons.
My life is gardening, cleaning around the house and power washing. I power wash everything: my wife, the mailman with the f-cking mail, power wash his ass, f-ck my mail up, I don't care.
True Yankees fans know an up-and-coming player when they see one.
I don't like to dabble in anything I don't do well. I don't talk politics.
Before I got into stand-up, I used to be a hip-hop dancer in a crew, and my name was J. Smoove, and my partner was J. Groove.
I'm big on facial expressions, and I'm big on mannerisms, which I find to be hilarious.
Being a parent is about your survival. Surviving the terrible two's is the most important thing. Kids get heavy. Quite literally. They're heavy to lift up when they're throwing tantrums.
Some of the best dramatic actors have started in comedy.
I've had jokes stolen a thousand times. But if you can do it better than me, you can have it. I've had jokes stolen from me in the club when I'm next on stage. And my brain will start to turn, and the gears will start turning, and I'll go onstage and create a whole new bit.
You can wait for things to happen for you or you can make things happen for you.
