There's many times this year I've sat back and thought, I'm making a living from making things up. It's the only skill I have so I've been really lucky.

I'm a traveling practical joker. That's my line of work.

When I'm on stage, it's a little world I've created where I'm sort of the thing, so I have total control over everything that happens. When we're improvising, I'm with someone I totally trust.

I am such a pessimist that every project has surpassed what I envisioned.

Every song a hit, every hit a smack!
