As I got into high school and after puberty, I was a little more inward. I was a real extrovert when I was little, but I don't know, I just got quieter With my friends, I was still an extrovert.

Occasionally you get that one person that says "I really like that one part of this joke" and you go, "Oh thank you that's my favorite part too." But no, in order for it to be authentic hopefully you have jokes that everyone can just get on board with and then you have a few things for yourself.

Things have to be funny first, and if they want to have a point, that's awesome.

Excuse me: I am homeless. I am gay. I have AIDS. I'm new in town.

I have tons of jokes with moments in them over the years in stand-up that don't get a laugh but I love them so they stay.

I was always the squarest person in the cool room, and alternatively, sometimes the weirder person at the mainstream table.

It's really fun to be writing and producing your own sketches. You almost have more control.
