As you get older, as a comedian, and keep doing it, what you actually start to cherish on stage is not the build-up to the jokes, but how comfortable you can be in the silence and the non-laughing parts, and how long you can take the audience without a laugh to then get a huge reaction.

I like to write, I like to do stand-up, I like to act.

With acting, you see some of the kids are literally just off the street, untrained, and they are great. And others are off the street, untrained, and kind of horrible.

As much as I know people love the method and what you can draw out of yourself, a lot of acting is very imaginative.

You have to be ruthless with yourself, in terms of being honest about what is working and what is not.

I think right now is the best time for stand-up, ever. I sincerely do.

In my mind, I was always a comedian who was going to branch into writing.
