I don't think I've had a job since I worked for my father's construction company.

I like the idea of conceiving a show and putting on a show, and especially when I got to the place where I could play theaters.

Uncharted territory is a good place to be in.

I'm clearly doing what I want. I hope kids can see my act and feel like they can be slightly more comfortable in their own skin because I'm being so ridiculously comfortable in mine. I'm not that comfortable in my skin the moment I walk offstage. But I try to project that while I'm on it.

When things are really painful, I turn it into comedy.

I was really shy growing up. I had braces, headgear, and no boobs - still don't. So, the boys weren't interested in me. The only way I could get attention was by being a goof and a dork, which meant a lot of physical comedy.

Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there's humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.

When I do theatre in New York, I typically only get cast in comedy.
