I prefer older people to college kids [as audience] for the most part. I want people with life experience, people that understand where I'm coming from.

The two things I understand best are stand-up comedy and martial arts. And those things require an ultimate grasp of the truth. You have to be objective about your skills and abilities to compete in both.

I think stand is better now than it's ever been. I think it's the greatest time ever to do standup comedy.

I had a sense of who I was before I got famous.

The beautiful thing about podcasting is it's just talking. It can be funny, or it can be terrifying. It can be sweet. It can be obnoxious. It almost has no definitive form. In that sense it's one of the best ways to explore an idea, and certainly much less limiting than trying to express the same idea in stand up comedy. For some ideas stand up is best, but it's really, really nice to have podcasts as well.

Comedy is really not like any other art form in that it's very specialized and varied in it's content, but generic in it's title.

It's a very strange thing when you make nature illegal.
