Stand-up comedy - I love this job, and I gotta tell you, folks - knock wood - it's been working. 'Cause I was one of those kind of people, even when I had a regular job, I couldn't even call in sick right. You know, I was like, 'Hello? Yeah, I can't come in today. I have scurvy.

I think what I would say to my younger self, and probably to younger, just starting-out writers is that a lot of times you're just afraid to put yourself out there, and it's uncomfortable because it's working up the courage to do something, to push yourself to do those things.

I suddenly had this really mad desire to have an affair with a woman. I was divorced. I was childless. I figured there's got to be one more way to really tick off my mom.

My father was the king of the joke-tellers. I was so impressed as a child watching him, holding people in rapt attention.

My father was the kind of guy who'd always say 'Throw out any subject and I got a joke on it,'

My stand-up act is very clean.

I'm not into working out. My philosophy: No pain, no pain.
