I was fortunate that when I was first starting out in New Orleans, I had a remarkable high-school teacher. And she was a great, great influence in my life, and I think she gave me the courage and the confidence to go forward into the real world. She instilled in me that my dreams were important and that what I was passionate about was most important.

LIGHTNING WILL SHOOT FROM MY ASS!!!

This is my life, this is my passion, this is all I got.

To succeed, i have to believe every night, in my heart, that i am the best.

I think I'm not uber into the comedy scene, but I love to laugh, especially in our business, where you're always front and center over an extremely, sometimes overly-critical live audience. I think it helps to laugh.

Nobody remembers second place.

My life is being ruined by the internet!
