My father wasn't much for show business. He was an insurance man - very well-liked, very warm. He had a lot of friends.

I was always the guy - out of insecurities, I was always making fun, even as a kid.

I was a mother's boy.

When you're 18, you're just so busy being scared and having fun - a crazy mixture - that you never thought of dying.

I'm always watching films. The Academy pretty much sends me every film that's ever been done. I enjoy watching them, especially with the people I know.

It's just to break things up between stand-up gigs. I would only do it periodically. Maybe just an East Coast thing.

I'm very shy so I became very outgoing to protect my shyness.
