I can always go back to waiting tables, but I won't be very good at it. I'll never be good at it.

In my twenties, I thought it was getting a sitcom. Then I got a sitcom pilot in my early thirties, and realized I didn't want it. It was a rude awakening. When it wasn't picked up, I was crushed, but then in retrospect I've made two films and produced three one-man shows since then. It's the luckiest thing that happened in my life.

I figured out in my thirties it was about 'what can I contribute'? And what I figured out about that is creating something from scratch, and connecting it to people.

I always try to attack the most honest issues I can in my comedy.

I struggled with that notion early in my career. 'I know this is funny but nobody is laughing.' This thought occurred for years.

Creepy people do the things that decent people want to do, but have decided are not a great idea.

I went to a funeral recently, and they handed out Kleenex before the funeral. Which I thought was cocky.
