character matter limits
I enjoy pushing my characters to the limit. No matter how far out there I go, I look for things that make the characters human.
dream character world
I have this dream life where I get to be a celebrity but I get to navigate the world fairly easily because I'm always in character.
attitude character voice
My characters all start with rhythms and sounds. Once I hear the voice and get into the rhythm, the attitude and the physicality just come out on their own.
character people chance
When people come to see my stand-up, they get a chance to see my characters interact with each other.
fate next suffer
My fate is very precarious, ... I don't want the show to suffer because I may not be able to come back next week.
brother sibling mean
I know it's a cliche, but the whole family is just whacked. I mean, we're all out of our minds. They're the funniest, most eccentric bizarre people I've ever met, my siblings.
stars impossible sometimes
Describing comic sensibility is near impossible. It's sort of an abstract silliness, that sometimes the joke isn't the star.
winter years voice
After years of begging, I got my parents to get me a little Craig tape recorder, a reel to reel. Then I started recording voices, or recording Jonathan Winters off television and stuff like that.
interesting stuff existential
I don't find biology as interesting as politics and humanism. I talk more about existential stuff.
years levels four
I'm thirty years old, but I read at the thirty-four-year-old level.
prayer bars lord
Please, O ye Lord, keep Jim Bakker behind bars.
laughing people doing-me
It's almost like he's started to sound even more exotic the more people started doing him. I don't know why, but there's just something about Al Gore that makes me laugh.
country hate thinking
I think free speech is probably the coolest thing we have in this country, and again, you can label it hate speech and dismiss it, and then you're allowed to censor it.
turtles clubs enough
Am I not turtley enough for the Turtle Club? Turtle! Turtle!
