Some people are just really goofy kind of guitar acts, and they go out and do these colleges and start making a fortune pretty early on. And other people - I know guys who are great comics, who've done the Letterman show many times, who still barely pay their bills.

I've always had real trouble knowing what my actual desires and goals are. I've just been dragged along by fate.

The reality is I'm not a 'get knocked down and come back harder' kind of guy.

Little did I know that earning a living at stand-up is the hardest thing you can do. But once I started doing it, I just loved it, and I realized that I was actually kinda good at it, and then that was it.

Americans don't like puns and plays on words, which is totally opposite in the comedy world to France or even Italy and Germany.

Comedy always benefits from different points of view and even tension. It can never be satisfied.

I really hate sitcoms on television with canned laughter and stuff. What really makes me laugh is the real-life stuff. I've got a dry sense of humor.

There's a certain rhythm to comedy that is almost like you're dancing and you just go on autopilot, so to speak. There's something just beautifully enjoyable about comedy in that respect. It's a joy to be able to do that. Drama, you get to go to depths that you haven't gone to before.
