Stand-up is live, so I'm used to being live for most of my career. It's interesting.

I think Helen of Troy must have been pretty hot. She got two countries going crazy for 10 years over her.

I'm not a big method actor. I'm much more superficial.

I think I identify more with the smart guy, but most people might take umbrage at that. I like to think of myself as a real thinker, but I suppose people might beg to differ.

What I love about comedians is their instinct is always to go against the grain. Their whole existence is pointing out the elephant in the room. Already you can see audiences are pushing back, but we're the ones who really can take it more than anybody.

I'm quietly becoming New York's premiere actor. People don't understand. They have me pigeon-holed as a comedian.

I love people, I love studying people more than history. So whatever situation I see, then I look at, what were the people like, more than history itself.
