If you don't respect each other and let it lie, it can be embarrassing or really frustrating.

Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.

When I would go on stage I would start to feel that the eyes that watching me weren't kind. And it took me a while to realize that those eyes were my own eyes.

Sometimes you watch comedians and feel like they're jerking off in front of you, but they want you to see how big it is.

Nowadays, performers who want to create their own material put it on the Internet. I never knew whether or not it would make an impression - and frankly, I didn't care that much about how it would be received.

I have no regrets. The best thing to happen to me was for Lorne Michaels to hire me and fire me.

You have to be really careful to watch out for the difference between banding together, and being grouped together by people who don't understand you.
