The longer you have something, the stronger the bond. That's true with people as well as things.

Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn't have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, 'You should try stand-up,' and took me to a venue.

I deliberately fly in and out of LA for as small a time as humanly possible.

I'd say I'm the opposite of someone that has the urge to stand in front of strangers and make them laugh, but the idea of getting up and telling a story and people finding it amusing always appealed to me.

When I shoot I'll take my family with me - one movie a year and then the rest of the time at home.

A girl's got to be fun. It's the one bit of advice I always give to friends of mine who are thinking of getting married.

I think you need to be able to see a lot of negative in things in order to extract material, so there's probably something to that. A lot of the people I used to work with were very, very, very unfunny offstage, so that's a pretty common thing.
