Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.

I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don't talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.

I was not the popular kid in school.

I wanted to be a comedian, and this is what I'm doing. If I can keep this going, I'm happy.

My mother was funnier than anybody I ever worked for. My father was as funny as this coat. Not a laugh a minute, my father.

I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.

I'm doing 5000 seat theaters and audiences are going nuts, it's fantastic and it makes me very happy. I'm dirty, but not like this; I just do comedy that I find funny. I'm working on a new tv show for cable and it's not set up yet.

I can't pretend that I'm a great student of the art of comedy because anybody that becomes philosophical about humour doesn't know what he's talking about.
