Going to Catholic school was what fueled me into comedy. The nuns were so brutal so I used to try to make my friends laugh.

I think I knew I was funny in Elementary School. I think most funny people realize it when they're young. It tends to come out of stress or trauma - something that makes you want to be funny.

Your work is a separate thing from you. You are this person who has your friends and your life, and you have to see the separation. If you see the separation between your work and yourself it's so much easier.

I don't just want to be successful I want to have fun.

I think you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.

This whole generation of parents - I'm guilty of it too - does too much for their kids.
