I haven't been hit since Leon Spinks hit me in '92.
You know, sometimes if you work - if you do a lot of takes and you work long hours, for me, at least, there is a delirium that starts kicking in on the fifteenth hour, and that can help. Below the just thirteenth hour is where I have a concern, because everybody's so tired.
I'm Greek. My body produces feta cheese.
I am not into publicity. I'm not good at it. I get anxiety about it.
'Baskets' isn't a CBS show. Nothing against that, but this is an off-kilter show on cable that the channel lets you do interesting things. Look, if it works, it works. And if it doesn't, it's just a miniseries.
I think sadness and anger are really fertile ground for comedy. No one is really interested in a happy person doing comedy.
When you're doing standup you're kind of doing, 'Hey. I thought of this. This may be funny.'
I don't really have a pattern yet. I don't know if I'll develop one. As far as comedic integrity, I don't have integrity in general, comedic or otherwise.
I've always been attracted to sad. If you look at Woody Allen movies, he's often playing a sad clown, and it's always been interesting. And angry clown is even more interesting.
I have never been much of a groomer. I take baths a lot, but I don't wear deodorant. I don't have to. I have a miraculous body scent. I've had women smell me and say that should be bottled. I would advise guys to lay off the Drakkar, because the cavemen weren't wearing it. They might have been putting mint leaves on their balls, but [your scent] is grown naturally. I have really good dating advice.
I'm not cynical when it comes to things that are important. I'm cynical about pop culture and all that horseshit.
I just could just shave my beard, and nobody would recognize me. Although I look like Jodie Foster.
That show, 'The Amazing Race' - is that about white people?
Hollywood's built on insecurity. People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.
