I am a very nerdy guy. I understand that it's easier to cast me as a nerdy guy than an action star - although I would love to be an action star!

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

I love constructive criticism. I love getting notes when I'm acting. I love them telling me what to do. I don't always agree with it, but I really need it.

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

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.

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

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.
