I like that idea that what I do might be mainstream. Might be.

There are a lot of great jokes you can sit down and write, but that's just a written joke, versus the comedy of the situation. Ideally, you're pulling as much comedy out of the situation as you can.

Part of standup is being loose and having a good time yourself and that translates to the audience.

Everyone's very relaxed about brand names in television.

Being president looks like the worst job in the world.

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

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.
