In movies, you don't get reactions: Live, when you do a joke, you know in a second whether it's good or bad. But in a movie, since no one is allowed to laugh or do anything, when you're done with a scene, you're left asking, 'Was that funny?'

When I was younger I always thought, 'If I were ever a comedian I'd make it like a rock concert.' I wanted to generate that type of enthusiasm and excitement.

Almost every day, someone asks if I ever flat iron my hair. I say, 'No, because I'm afraid it wouldn't look good and wouldn't come back curly.'

When I told my friends I was going to be a comedian, they laughed at me.

I always thought marketing in general was an interesting kind of thing. I always liked commercials and billboards.

It's our nature: Human beings like success but they hate successful people.

My way of making people like me was to make 'em laugh.
