Stand-up comedy is all you. It's your show, it's your game. You control every aspect of it - of that experience and that expression. There's really nothing quite as satisfying.
Some comics really thrive on being disrespectful, especially toward women, and it's somehow understood as edgy, but I'm the opposite. I've never liked curse words for that reason.
My point of view is that men are basically animals, and I'm okay with that.
Its always a shock to me when I get recognized.
As an actor, you're never busy enough.
Compare sending someone a text message and getting a love letter delivered by carrier pigeon. No contest.
My parents were really nice to me.
There are so many hot, sexy women in L.A.
I celebrate masculinity when I'm onstage.
I guess I am attracted to older women. I'm looking for a 40-something who has had her heart broken two or three hundred times. She's going to be fun!
Guys want a 500 horsepower car. I'd rather have one horsepower - in a horse. That's macho. You go to pick up your date and you show up on a horse.
You go into an audition, you're either the one or you're not, and if you're not, you go home. And I kind of like that. If you're really good, and you're the best guy in the room that day, you get the job.
My dad's idea of punishment was to dress me up in all green to disguise me as grass, and then throw me in the pasture. Cows bit me all over.
If you're the Rolling Stones, you can sing 'Start Me Up' for 35 years, and people still cheer.
