I've lived in LA for so long, I don't even know what is real and what isn't any more.
Anger has a way of seeping into every other emotion and planting itself in there.
Ex-girlfriends will find themselves in my new routine. Sometimes they like that, and sometimes they definitely do not. But comedians should come with a giant warning or disclaimer: IF YOU DATE ME, IT WILL BE IN MY ACT.
Nothing is a better icebreaker than a great joke.
You've gotta share what's going on in your mind.
We all hope for breakthrough rebirth moments.
You have to realize, when you're a comedian, that you have to have a thick skin. And trust me, being onstage in front of people is already difficult enough. Somebody's personal attack in an email is not as hard as getting onstage.
In school I was pretty quiet. Kinda shy until my junior year. But at home I was a freak.
My mom and dad passed away from cancer. Within nine months, I lost both of my folks. Immediately after that, I had a horrible betrayal where my brother, who worked for me, stole a lot of my money. He's in jail now.
I like fearless characters, people just not afraid to do anything it takes to make people laugh.
I always wanted to be a snake. Every time I saw a snake on TV. I'd always say 'Why not me?'
Christina can sing all the notes, but Britney is just hot!
I always thought that if I got no love at all early in my standup career, or I was god awful, I thought I'd get into psychology.
When you are doing stand-up comedy, you are the writer, producer, director, sometimes bouncer.
