I get sort of short with people and start grumbling and clearing my throat - in honor of my father - when I'm impatient. It's very charming.

There's a reason I'm a stand-up comedian. I think there may be some laziness inherent in that job. It's the four-hour work week, on some level. I mean, I work at it, but it's not that kind of... it's just not the hours at all. So I was extremely grateful for the job. It was super, super fun, and I'm surprised that I made it.

I have received more fulfillment and adulation than I would ever know what to do with in terms of show business.
