I really like to read when I'm eating - 'The New York Times' or the 'Wall Street Journal,' paper version.

I remember the first date I ever went out on. It was in high school. Her name was Marguerite. She was kind of a heavyset girl... I took her out on one date. We went out for dinner and a movie and a dinner.

When I began doing stand-up, it took me a long time to get an hour's worth of material together.

What happened was, I always wanted to be a singer/songwriter kind of guy like a James Taylor or Crosby, Stills and Nash type of thing; I went to a lot of coffee houses and used to watch all those guys, but I never had the nerve to get up and do it because singing seems so personal and intimate to me. It was too revealing.

It is a great rush to come up with a joke that gets a good response from the audience. It's gold!

I play a lot of sports. I'm not real good at any of them. I'm above adequate.

I really enjoyed working on the 2009 film, 'Aliens in the Attic,' because it was shot in New Zealand and I got to visit there for the first time.
