Live TV has an amazing pace to it. You've got to be able to think quick, make changes last minute, and be funny and fast.
I'm looking to be the next comedy mogul.
My life is gardening, cleaning around the house and power washing.
My wife is a vegetarian. When my wife is with me, I eat vegetarian. When she's not, I eat meat. I'm just being honest.
People love things about Hollywood. People love to see the inside of what's going on.
I'm a thief. I steal scenes, I steal opportunities. I am the ultimate thief. I got sticky fingers.

Improv relies just as much on listening as it does you delivering dialogue. That's the hard for some people. Some people just concentrate on what they're going to say, and they're not listening. You have to listen in order to see where the other person is going to.

When you're on stage performing stand-up, things only happen one time. I've done bits where I improv a joke, and people are dying. The next show, I try to repeat it, I can't do it.

You buy a new iPhone, a few months later, another new iPhone comes out, and you get online to buy another one. You can't get enough. You are addicted to Apple.
