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.

You have to do anything you can think of that gets you excited.

There was plenty of dysfunction in my family and I went to Catholic School with these psychotic nuns. I would always try to be funny to lighten the mood.

I think the obsession with wanting to change yourself is crazy over the top.

I love Kathy Griffin, I think she's brilliant, but for me, there is a line when I go OK, that's too much.

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.

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.
