Everything we have today that's cool comes from someone wanting more of something they loved in the past. Action figures, videogames, superhero movies, iPods: All are continuations of a love that wanted more.

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

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

There are times when I have to take, I call it a “silence bath,” where I shut off all of the external gadgets. I go walk around, talk to people, and just live life for a while.

I have a lot of friends who were stand-ups, and they just stopped after a while, because they didn't like that battle, or they just couldn't do it. And then they would get on a sitcom and get visible and get back into it, because the audience was just way easier on them. But they lost those crucial years of learning to turn any audience into your audience.

Meal isn't over when I'm full. Meal's over when I hate myself.

Stand-up is something I just truly love to do, so I'll always go back to it. I'll never stop doing it, that's for sure.
