I started to have panic attacks on stage and my wife just asked, "Why don't you just stop?" I was doing Ghost Whisperer at the time so I was making enough money where I could put it away and she said, "Then, when you go back, you just go up and tell the truth." And it's a lot more tiring.

What I've realized in the last year, 80% of my act has already happened to me, and it's not until you retell the story at a party or to a friend or it comes up on the podcast that you, I don't know why I'm not doing that onstage!

This happens to me every couple of years. I'll look at someone I respect and I'll realize that he's outworking me. It changes the way I behave for the next half decade.

But if applause throws off your timing, then you're not the kind of comedian I would like to see. All you have to do is stand there and take it.

As far as in my career, I don't know what other form there is. I would love to do a talk show.

I'm oddly not competitive. What I love about show business is there is a home for everyone.

It's very good to know when you're being lapped on the racetrack, 'cause you've got to put your foot down on the pedal and get going.
