Humor's a weapon if you want to make it one.

I worked in accounting for two and a half years, realized that wasn't what I wanted to do with the rest of my life, and decided I was just going to give comedy a try.

When you're going for a joke, you're stuck out there if it doesn't work. There's nowhere to go. You've done the drum role and the cymbal clash and you're out on the end of the plank.

All comedians are, in a way, anarchists. Our job is to make fun of the existing world.

The first time I got up in front of an audience was terror, abject terror, which continued for another four or five years. There still is, a little bit.

I feel more comfortable in comedy.

I don't have a stack of scripts...
