If you actually do cold readings, it's very close to how people actually talk, because you're experiencing these thoughts anew every moment, and trying to make them come out coherently.

When you act, you're being asked to pretend in a very rigid, controlled environment. It's very un-childlike. So a lot of times, when you put kids in that situation, you hope they have a better support system outside of what they're doing to bring them back to reality at the end of the day and to keep them well-rounded.

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

I don't want to get into extended conversations with people on MySpace, because there are friends I have extended conversations with every day.

Before doing my first open mic, I was sitting in the back watching all these comedians banter back and forth and fire jokes and up each other, and I thought, This is where I wanna be.

I fantasize and idealize myself as Bugs Bunny, but I know deep down I'm Daffy Duck.

There's something kind of beautiful about that pure love of things. Like, "I'll show that I love the thing I love by hating everything else."
