I remember taking mushrooms at the wrap party, it was like the first and last time I took that.
People should stop poking fun at other people and worry about themselves. The reality is that my movies all have made money.
The Comedy Store attracts all types of people, growing up I was able to meet them all.
The MTV thing is the thing that I will always tip my hat to because that was like my acting class and how I got comfortable in front of a camera and how I kind of created my own thing.
You have to go away to come back. That's just normal. That's with bands, actors, comedians, everything.
I want to do an 'Extreme Makeover' show. You know that MTV show 'I Want To Have A Famous Face'? Well, I want to do a new show. I want to have a different famous face.
Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.
Few if any teenagers can relate to getting up for school and finding famous comics like Pryor and Williams hanging out in your living room after a hard night of partying. But that's Hollywood.
My mom and dad are both in stand-up comedy, so that's where I started, that's where I got everything. My roots are holding the mic.
When you're a kid, all you really care about are Slurpees and Slip N Slide and riding your bike, and that's what I did.
I'm definitely a lot more comfortable now in my 40s than in my 30s - that's for sure.
My 20s were a time where I made it; my 30s were when I was away, confused, and trying to figure it all out.
I really don't go out every night to red-carpet events.
I miss that process of getting the script and reading it and working on it. Every actor has their own way of memorizing their lines, and the whole process of starting to work with the other actors and the director, and doing rehearsals, and going to the location, and going through wardrobe.
