On some level any appearance on Television can be seen as a product endorsement.

The truth is, I can’t read anything with any distance. Every book is a self-help book to me. Just having them makes me feel better.

I just wanted to be a good comic and had no sense of show business, but at some point you want the opportunity to write a show about your life.

There's nothing more horrifying than the possibility or the idea that you will just fade away into obscurity.

You hope to see an arc of growth in your ability to become a character on television.

I'm just looking for authentic engagement of some kind, and usually, after an hour or more, you get that. Some people talk at you. Some people just want to answer questions, but a lot of times, all of a sudden you drift away, and you don't remember you're on the mic, and you're in something real.

As a performer you are being used to keep people watching so the commercial endorsements that support the network can be seen by as many people as possible.
