You have to go away to come back. That's just normal. That's with bands, actors, comedians, everything.

Well, the best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period. When you work in movies, or on TV shows, there are 50 other people involved. And it's hard, man. They brainwash you to think you're doing the right thing.

Even at my peak, I never went too over the top.

"Entourage" is a staple LA-based show and people say it's pretty real and I thought it was. It's an exaggeration of the truth.

The MTV thing is the thing that I will always tip my hat to because that was like my acting class and how I got comfortable in front of a camera and how I kind of created my own thing.

I miss that process of getting the script and reading it and working on it. Every actor has their own way of memorizing their lines, and the whole process of starting to work with the other actors and the director, and doing rehearsals, and going to the location, and going through wardrobe.

The Comedy Store attracts all types of people, growing up I was able to meet them all.
