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

You're happy that people are seeing your work. As for the critics, it really hurts when they knock you.

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

I didn’t know that it was going to launch a quote-unquote comedic career. I just wanted to do anything other than wait tables.

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?

Never trust a man whom you know to have acted like a scoundrel to others, whatever friendliness he may profess to feel towards yourself, however plausible he may be, or however kindly he may behave; be sure that, the moment he has anything to gain by so doing, he will "throw you over."

I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.
