I would start a revolution, but I just bought a hammock.
I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack.
That's one of the great things about comedy: we can - and should - say the things that other people aren't supposed to say. If we didn't do that, if we didn't push against those limits, we'd just be standing around onstage and yelling.
My headshot is a scratch and sniff, it smells like failure and onions.
I kind of put myself out there as is. I'm a quiet person. I don't know if that's surprising. I'm a Pilates junkie.
It's not good for comedy to be like, 'Thanks for liking me.' Being popular is poison.
If you see something, say something.
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.
I think sadness and anger are really fertile ground for comedy. No one is really interested in a happy person doing comedy.
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.
