In every case, I find pre-planning noble, but not always that useful in comedy. You know comedy once you're doing it.

I remember writing standup jokes without having done sets. But as soon as I did my first set, it didn't matter. Everything I thought would work didn't work. And everything I was iffy on was funny.

Everyone's very relaxed about brand names in television.

You can't always see both sides of the story. Eventually, you have to pick a side and stick with it. No more equivocating. You have to commit.

The more you do stuff, the better you get at dealing with how you still fail at it a lot of the time.

I'm a very straightforward person. But that's fine for a comedian. Because a lot of times you're talking about everyone else.

I had a lot of fun writing things that died during dress rehearsal. Sometimes I remember the crazy ones that died even more fondly than the ones that did really well.
