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.

Stand-up for me is just my opinions on things, so it wouldnt be as fun translated into a sketch. Nor would a sketch be as fun if it were me standing there saying it.

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

I never turn on the crowd. Sometimes, you think it's a terrible show, and then afterward, sometimes people say they really liked it. So turning on the crowd is only going to alienate the few people who might like it.

My standup persona is like I'll heighten things, but I'm observing the world as it is in sort of a heightened emotional state.

It's important to remember that life is a joke and that outlook grants a lot of perspective, but I don't think comedy should change and become political due to other things. It should just laugh at that cosmic joke that life is all the time.
