Acting in a sitcom or a comedy movie is like a comedy routine with the setups.
People make a big deal about podcasts but it's basically an online radio show with the sound effects and sidekicks, but because you can curse it's more like satellite radio. Most of the podcasters were morning guys who were fired when Clear Channel decimated the radio landscape.
If you try to deliver a funny line in a funny way, it comes out as wacky and you ruin the scene.
I just do my act. If people in England don't get my joke I make fun of myself for telling it.
I cannot believe that [Donald Trump] is actually in the debates.
Comedians have the ability to feel other emotions.
I think it's a privilege to be able to fly to somewhere where people want to see my show.
Working on the Dave Chappelle show was amazing.
I have to make small adjustments, but I can't change too much. If I'm worrying about that stuff too much then the show isn't as funny.
Patrice O'Neal is the best comic I ever saw.

Being a stand-up comic, this isn't a stepping-stone for me; it's what I do, and this is what I'm always going to do. And even if I do a TV show, the only reasons to do a TV show is to get more people to know me to come out to my stand-up shows.
Michael Price is the showrunner so nobody works harder than him.
Like most comics, I tried to come up with a sitcom idea that was based around my life. And it didn't work out. But maybe because it didn't work out, that's why I ended up on 'Breaking Bad;' I don't know.
