The idea of doing stand-up is terrifying to me.

I waited tables in New York, and when you're in that line of work, you often have a horrible boss.

Thinking of Plan B muddies up your chances of succeeding at Plan A.

I don't think you should just do what makes you happy. Do what makes you great. Do what's uncomfortable and scary and hard but pays off in the long run... Let yourself fail... And pick yourself up and fail again. Without that struggle, what is your success anyway?

You cannot let a fear of failure or a fear of comparison or a fear of judgment stop you from doing what’s going to make you great. You cannot succeed without this risk of failure. You cannot have a voice without the risk of criticism and you cannot love without the risk of loss.

I always was a funny guy, the class clown. I had a very funny dad and an extremely funny grandmother.

I put myself in the category of "Lucky Guy," and my hopes for the future are that I can continue to push the envelope for myself, and creatively and see what's next.
