I was very specific as to what the special would be because I had just directed Jon and Dennis. The difference was that mine included a lot more stand-up and Larry's included more behind-the-scenes.
Directing is really my favorite thing to do, but if I never directed again, I'd be okay if all the work I did was good.
Whenever I meet someone who's talented, I always want to write something for them!
Why do I want to be challenged or have challenges? That's why I don't go climb mountains.
I have gone to many theaters where it is so unpleasant with the commercials before the movie, the volume, and the disrespect of the filmgoers. So I understand people not wanting to go to the theater.
I don't care what I do - act, stand-up, write, direct - it doesn't matter as long as I'm being creative and it's good work.
My kids have played soccer and baseball and basketball, and the parents who come to games are always saying and doing things that are just wildly inappropriate.
Certainly early on, I kind of modeled myself after Steve Martin and Bill Murray. I would imitate them sometimes.
She makes every scene she's in better, ... I'm sorry if that's boring, but she's a rock. She's just that fantastic.
Parents have got to chill out. Let your kid eat dirt - they're gonna be fine!
He was right. I could have brought the idea to a million other people, and we wouldn't be talking about a great show.
The only thing that I demand of the audience is that they listen to what I'm saying. Other than that, they owe me nothing. They don't owe me a thing.
I don't think I'm ever going to retire from stand-up, but what I have retired from is working the road every week.
I have the bigger iPad, but the Mini is the best. It just seems perfect. The old one seems so big and heavy. I like simple and clean.
