I think there is more comedians now than ever, more venues now than ever. There are stand-ups who live in towns where they don't have many comedy clubs where they are organizing more comedy nights in bars. I just think this is a fantastic time for stand up.

I really never had any ambitions to be a standup comic. I was talked into it by guys that I used to work out with.

When I started out I was definitely more traditional. It was 1988. Everyone was doing the Jerry Seinfeld.

People do always try to smoke pot with me. But I think some of those people are cops.

Aspire to be the man you pretend to be when you're trying to get laid.

You're sort of programmed a certain way because of your environment. That's all you know. But we don't have that anymore because of the internet. Because of the internet we're all communicating with each other all across the board, so you're getting information from people all around the world, hitting a much more diverse slice of culture.

If you haven't peed the bed, you haven't taken enough chances.
