Risk being seen in all of your glory.

I expected that most of my career would be in dramatic acting. My hero was James Dean.

Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don't limit myself.

Most of the time I live with my pain. I have pain but I won't show it around. I think that's the nobility of the character. There's something noble in not spewing on people all the time about your problems. I'm the light guy, so I identified.

Lots of people say if you dredge too much stuff up, you'll go crazy - "You'll go insane!" But for a comedian, insanity is not a problem. It's a goal.

People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.

Everything can be made fun of. The most serious things are ripe for making fun of them.
