I don't like doing movies, period. Movies are hard. I like TV.

I'm always listening and watching; my ear is like a boom mike. And judging, frankly. Constantly judging.

I actually have to pick and chose stuff that I know I'm going to bomb at.

But if something funny happens, I can't resist. I have to tell the people.

I grew up in Chicago and was a huge fan of 'The Second City', so when I moved to L.A., I was looking for anything that resembled that... then I started 'The Groundlings', so I went to a show and it was very much like 'Second City'. I was so impressed that that same night I went backstage and I went up to the funniest person there.

Well, the coffeehouse audiences never know what they're going to get, and all the comics are different, as opposed to when you go to a club, and they're pretty much all telling jokes with set-ups and punchlines. Coffeehouse audiences are the most forgiving: They really listen, which is the best part.

I have no limits, no filter, no class, no poise. No decorum. Just fun.
