Being a comedian is an incredible thing, but it can be scary sometimes.

Do you know how many times a week people ask me why I'm yelling?

I think the fear of humiliating yourself on stage always motivates me to give at least 90 percent.

The fact that people pay to come see me, that's really just out the window.

Stand up comedy is this thing you get to do, so you have to treat it with respect. You can't just be like, 'Alright, I got my hour down, people are coming to see me now. Now, I'm going to lean on the mike stand.' No, you gotta work even harder now. You got to top what you already did. Because they'll find someone else.
