I like helping people achieve their dreams just like people helped me.

First I went to C.W. Post and I was a psychology and theater major and then I transferred to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts as a drama major.

To be a comedian, you gotta jokesmith, there's no way around it.

Well I was about to be expelled from school, I had been arrested and a teacher said: "Why don't you try acting, instead of distracting the class? Why don't you use your comic talent for something more productive?" My maths teacher suggested I do comedy and I decided to have a go. I pursued it after that. I was about 17.

I was just school class clown and that was it. Someday I'll get a job as a cab driver or whatever.

I had a great movement teacher - he showed me how to walk so I wasn't becoming like a cartoon.

That's the happiest I am, when I'm doing great work.
