My Obama is getting pretty good ... I think I'll vote for whoever makes my portrayal easier. It takes time to put together a comic impression. It takes time to recognize the tics. Right now, for instance, I could do a dead- on Paul Ryan and people wouldn't recognize it. Personalities take a while to sin.

When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other.

If I only ran when nothing hurt, I would never run.

I'm a real people-pleaser.

You know, sometimes you can't just take an armadillo, put it in the barn, light it on fire and expect it to make licorice.

While many comics have a secret persona, I fundamentally want to be myself.

I used to sneak up to the 8th floor and watch Eddie Murphy and Joe Piscopo rehearsing 'Saturday Night Live' and could only wonder if I would ever have the chance to be funny. It took me five years to go up the two stories, but it is such a sense of fulfillment to be able to show what I can do on national television.
