If anything, there's more at stake when you're older, and more responsibility and more legitimate things to worry about.

As a teenager, I was very much a people pleaser and that excludes being adventuresome at all. I was a Boy Scout though and so that's as adventuresome as I got.

I remember interviewing someone I actually felt bad for, and therefore didn't want to take an ironic stance against him. It actually turned out to be a really funny piece.

Why should I be feeling tension? It's The Daily Show.

If people see me in some sort of niche, then that's fine. As long as it's not "The Naked Guy." I don't care.

I have to stay true to myself.

I touched an Oscar once. Friend of mine has one, for writing. As soon as I touched it, he said, Now you'll never win one.
