want do-whatever-you-want
Do whatever you want to do, whenever you want to do it
mean guy arrogant
I'm very arrogant and mean. I'm almost like a bad guy professional wrestler.
hair glasses phases
Every comic went through their Mitch Hedberg phase - the glasses, the hair in the face - and you knew immediately when they were doing it.
stuff faces internet
I don't have much racial stuff in my act. And no one's ever really threatened me to my face. Threats on the internet don't bother me so much.
funny brother humor
We just found out my little brother has a peanut allergy, which is very serious I know. But still I feel like my parents are totally overreacting - they caught me eating a tiny little bag of airline peanuts and they kicked me out of his funeral.
driving problem authority
The driving force behind doing everything that I've been doing as a stand-up is having problems with authority and not liking to be told what to do.
kids someday adopting
I could see myself adopting a kid someday. But, obviously, I'd prefer it to be aborted.
children son simple
Katey Sagal, you are an incredible actress. You worked on ‘Married with Children,’ the show that changed comedy, ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ the show that took comedy to a whole new level and ‘8 Simple Rules,’ the show that killed John Ritter.
crazy thinking comedy
I never go see live comedy shows because I just sit in the audience thinking, "Here's what I would say. Here's what I would do if I got up there." It drives me crazy.
past voice people
I had written for Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman in the past. Jimmy had a different voice, and different priorities. He couldnt be the bad guy in the joke; he couldnt upset people, really.
growing-up taken wish
I wish my family had taken more pictures when I was growing up. Instead of always having to draw everything.
girlfriend dinner restaurants
When my girlfriend cooks dinner, I'm happy to do the dishes. Because I make her wash dishes when I take her to a restaurant.
differences break bigs
With comics, you always talk about a big break, but there are a lot of big breaks in your life and not one of them makes a big difference.
dark thinking artist
You can't expect everyone to laugh or applaud you for doing edgy things. Sometimes you'll miss. But I think comedians are artists and there's a value in failure. It kind of works both ways between comedians and audiences. The audience has to understand that comedians are going to sometimes tell a joke that doesn't work out with dark subjects, and the comedian has to understand that sometimes they 'll fail and it's not the audience's fault for not getting it or loving it.
