Im from a family of doctors, and I think they really wanted me to be a doctor. I even sort of assumed I would be a doctor.

I was extremely shy and had a terrible fear of public speaking. But I had fallen in love with stand-up.

I think being funny had something to do with feeling like an outsider, not feeling cool - insecurity.

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.

We only hear success stories. You don't hear about the hundreds and hundreds - the overwhelming majority that don't go anywhere. This is a more realistic portrayal of what happens in startups.

I never really got into game shows. The easiest one is Wheel Of Fortune because you just have to know words, and for the most part everyone knows words.

I approximated the Black Friday experience at home by hurling myself into a wall a number of times and then ordering online.
