To get asked to do stuff like 'United States Of Tara' and 'Caprica' is terrific. I can't complain.

All the truly great stand-ups say, "I go onstage, and I work on jokes. The inspiration will happen while I'm doing my work." To me, in the end, the surest thing is work.

If I were to just focus on stand-up, I could actually, paradoxically enough, be home way more, because I would leave on a Friday, go do a couple theaters Friday, Saturday, maybe Sunday, come home.

I have to drink this much to be as unfunny as you.

I've gotten very cynical and kind of anhedonic about all the things I have to do to get to do comedy: all the travel, hotels, and airports.

To get asked to do stuff like 'United States Of Tara' and 'Caprica' is terrific. I can't complain.

I can't say that I ever abided nerd stereotypes: I was never alone or felt outcast.
