I don't feel those limits when I'm on stage. For some reason, audiences let me get away with things. Remember, it's all comedy. Words. Thoughts. All thoughts are safe and worth exploring.

You would never do stand-up without an audience. I mean, no one would even consider it. It's like they're the instrument you're playing.

When I got divorced, I thought 'Well, there goes my act.'

If you're older, you're smarter. I just believe that. If you're in an argument with someone older than you, you should listen to 'em ... even if they're wrong, their wrongness is rooted in more information than you have.

I like pressure. Pressure doesn't make me crack. It's enabling. I eat pressure, and there might be times when I get a bad feeling in my gut that this might be too much, but you feel pressure when you're not doing something, you know?

To me, it's very exhilarating when somebody else does a great thing, and it's not me.

Performing comedy, you develop a rhythm of ideas and laughs. I live for it.
