I had to travel half way across the world to be called an American.

I found that laughter was a form of acceptance, and I really enjoyed that and I just - I crave it.

I got on the high school speech team and everyday I would get up in front of the class and just start talking.

People understand when I talk about my son not listening, or issues at home or his real dad coming back into the picture, or even stories about family members not seeing eye to eye with what you're doing.

Social media has definitely changed the game for me. I am able to connect to my fans on twitter and interact with them, daily. YouTube has been a game changer as well - people around the world have been exposed to my comedy through my YouTube channel.

I'm always ready for TV. I don't have to edit my jokes - when you work clean, you can work anywhere.

Comedians do movies and TV so that when they tour, they sell out. That's the goal: To get popular enough so the place is packed.
