90% of every art form is garbage - dance and stand-up, painting and music. Focus on the 10% that's good, suck it up, and drive on.

There's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and I'm not against comedies, either, but I always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone.

I love the beginning of Magnolia, the thing about the dealer. That scene is genius. Brilliantly acted.

Knock on wood, my groupies tend to be very artistic, creative people - sometimes way more creative than I am.

I identify myself as a stand-up first. Even though lately there's been an explosion of acting on my schedule.

I'm always trying out new stuff onstage. That's where I do all my writing.
