When my stepfather died, I just kind of fell apart. I felt pretty vulnerable, like there literally could be no tomorrow.

Everyone is so weird in L.A. that if you're somewhat normal, it's exotic.

It's good to do stand-up. It kind of wakes you up and makes you feel like you're doing something. You got the crowd right there. That's all fun.

I'm always making fun of myself and my friends.

There are too many fawning entertainment shows out there and not one of them is making fun of it all.

I've got people who like Tommy Boy, but they're getting older and there's a whole new wave of college kids who see that and Joe Dirt, and Just Shoot Me is a little older, so I wanted stuff for everybody.

Hopefully, underlying all my jokes is an element of surprise.
