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

Growing up there are always those kids who are only happy when they are making someone else upset. That is unfortunately just how some people are. And their parents were fine. Some people are just born with bad wiring.

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

I'm glad that that era of stand-up is over, because I think it adversely affected a lot of people who could have been really, really great comedians. Because they unconsciously or subconsciously stifled their wild impulses, and were thinking about the five clean minutes for The Tonight Show, or the 20-minute sitcom pitch as a stand-up act.

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

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

Zombies can't believe the energy we waste on nonfood pursuits.
