It was early on when I was really focused and obsessed with doing The Tonight Show and Letterman and stuff like that. Then, I quickly realized that those things don't make or break a career.

No matter what time of year it's always funny when a person walks by me dressed in religious garb and I say Happy Halloween!

Say what you will about Gypsy women, but they are remarkable assessors of blues guitar talent.

For the first few years I wrote jokes and performed them word for word and then wrote tags for them and did that word for word and that worked pretty well. Now, I do almost all of my writing on stage and then record and listen for any new things and then I write those down.

The definition of the word nerd has changed. It's now any attractive person with a hobby. The loneliness component is no longer included.

Without my family, I'd be something.

I think everything contributes to your creativity.
