The best advice I've gotten in terms of that was someone who said, "People will surprise you if you let them."

I would say that in the past year I have had to begrudgingly admit that I am finally a success of some level, sure.

People who get lucky, also tend to be really great looking, which is luck on some level, but it is also just the fact of the matter.

There are many hundreds of millions of people who have jobs harder than (mine), and I also remind myself of that every day. No matter how frustrating this can be, I am very lucky that I have been able to cobble together a little life, in which (comedy) is what I do. I am certainly not in danger of getting stuck in a mine anytime soon.

I have the words "Lose Well" on my shoulder. It's kind of a catchphrase that sprung up from my TV show at some point. It's this idea that at a certain point, if you're a loser you've got to own that. It's pretty okay to strike out in life. Just get good at it and hold your head up high. If you're a loser, that's what you are and be cool with it.

Life gave me a weird path to walk and it wasn't a very traditional path and that's good, I enjoyed it greatly. But I don't think that it was anybody's traditional definition of success but I really am thankful for it.

I bet I'm the only person in history who went from being the star of a sitcom to the host of a public-access show in less than a year.
