Most comedians come from a dark past and have a lot of sadness.

If it's not happening, write your own thing!

I can't believe when you write something from within, how many people relate to it.

I do make a conscious effort to not repeat old patterns, instead of being like, But they don't want me! I haven't always been that way.

Sometimes a fan comes up to me, and I'm really interested in how they're acting, so I'll study them and use that in my material.

The clothes, the shoes, the gold belts and the necklaces always click me into the character, for sure. You could not feel the character, and then you put on the shoes and get the walk.

You really get a feeling, when you're reading scripts, pretty quickly. Within 20 or 25 pages, you can get a sense of the part. I always think about whether I'm right for it and whether I can do it. If I don't think I'm right for it, it should go to somebody else.
