On stage I just have to be myself. In acting you have to be so many other people.

It wasn't until I moved to New York that I decided to make a conscious effort to be myself.

I think, you know, a lot of the business of comedy is taking your personal experiences and making them relatable to other people.

I moved to New York first and was really apprehensive about moving to L.A., but I really, really like it.

I would say I try to make my comedy really personal. I try to tell stories that happened to me, experiences from my life.

You really need to have that discipline. It's not even discipline. I just put down these rules. It's not like a vague, 'Motivate yourself!' and do something. Its specific hours set aside every day for certain things.

My stories take three or four months to fix, and it's not magical of a process. Ultimately it's a boring, difficult process. I write everything out, and then the parts I think are funny I put in bold. Then I go perform it. Then the parts that aren't funny, I unbold them.
