I'm keeping in shape, you know, gotta look good for the ladies - and certain guys. Hey, I can't control who's looking. I just gotta bring the heat.

I don't know that I have a single comedy philosophy. But talking about things that matter to you is a good place to start. Listening is a big part of it, too.

Listening to your own sets and listening to the audience as you perform. It's a conversation of sorts. There is an exchange.

Louis CK went from a writer/comedian to winning Emmys for his own show because he works his ass off.

I think the more you hone your voice, take risks and talk about things that matter, the better chance you have of getting into the realm of the philosophers of stand up. But you have to be funny.

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

Ultimately, an audience wants to laugh. That's who they like, the comedian who makes them laugh.
