I don't really like to just sit down at a computer and write because that tends to be a little forced. Sometimes the funniest ideas just happen in the moment, when you're talking to people, or you notice something.

We all borrow and steal and copy from each other, and that's the way I think people get inspired.

I think I always enjoyed the energy of a crowd, of being onstage. It started when I was even younger doing public speaking at school and just kept going from there.

I've always got a whole bunch of things in the works. That's sort of the nature of the business. Even when you're doing something you love doing, you have to be plotting and scheming and writing and preparing for what you're going to do when that's finished.

I tend to find comedy in dark places. I also tend to find comedy in taking on the status quo - which has always been something I find important.

I considered myself a professional comedian because the club would pay me $20.
