I belong to a gym now... well, let me rephrase that: I don't belong there at all, but I go.

I think comedy is no different now than it was at other points. It takes a long time to get good and know how to distill what makes you funny beyond the realm of standup, which is what I'm trying to do with 'Teachers Lounge.'

After twenty plus years of performing hundreds of shows a year, I prefer to try things out on stage rather than for friends. I don't see the benefit in that, really.

Hard work is a muscle that you develop, as is taking risks.

I don't really worry about a crowd liking me.

Sometimes crowds start out not liking someone but then they shift and love them. Or vice versa. It can shift on a dime.

I've seen people who are not very likeable but hilarious. I think comedians get to a point where they know they're funny, so they don't care - in the sense that they know what they're doing. They have a skill.
