Disasters are funny to me. As a comedian you learn from failure, so I'm always trying to put myself in a situation that does not seem ideal for my comedy and see how it works.

I never knew if I would get my own show, but I knew I loved stand-up.

Ellen Barkin, your upcoming TV show ‘The New Normal’ premiers on September 11th. September 11th, that sounds about right. Every clip I’ve seen feels like I’m watching a third tower collapse.

My first time on stage was the class "graduation" at the Comedy Store. It was awesome. Everything got huge laughs and I just thought I knew how to do comedy.

I'm interested in doing some acting in the future, but it's a distant second to stand up.

I was always fascinated by forbidden things people didn't want to talk about, like death.

I could see myself adopting a kid someday. But, obviously, I'd prefer it to be aborted.
