I think the fear of humiliating yourself on stage always motivates me to give at least 90 percent. I've definitely been guilty of leaning on the mic stand, but you can only do that so long before you're like, "Jesus, I'm bombing." The fact that people pay to come see me, that's really just out the window.

For aspiring comedians? Don't listen to me. Just go on stage and do what you think is funny.

You have to understand how bad I wanted to be a comedian, how much I loved doing it. I still can't believe I get to do this for a living and have people come up and want to see me.

Acting in a sitcom or a comedy movie is like a comedy routine with the setups.

When I watch 'Breaking Bad,' my stomach is in knots.

I'm a standup comedian who gets to act. I'm never going to not do standup. I love doing it and when I go through periods where I'm doing a lot of acting work, I still do standup.

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