Comedy is incredibly hard. You have to be loose. You have to be not afraid to fail.

A person being patient with an insane person is my favorite thing in the world.

I really enjoyed playing Vinny Vedecci, the Italian talk show host. He was the first character I ever came up with where I gave him a name and a way of dressing.

The best thing to do is to get out in front of an audience as much as you can, and learn from the experience.

No one knows anything. You're going to make mistakes and you're going to do things that people think are stupid. You can't sit there and go, "I never want to make a mistake."

I always felt better co-writing something - always co-writing. Because if I was the lead of it and it failed, then it failed on my own accord. I would say, "Well, I liked it or I screwed up. I take the hit on this one."

My kids, they're always embarrassed when my voice shows up in something.
