physical seen
Forty to 60 I would say is your prime. That's when you know the most, you've seen the most, you understand the most, and you still have some physical energy.
funny
Funny is the world I live in. You're funny, I'm interested. You're not funny, I'm not interested.
human theory time
My theory is 98 percent of all human endeavor is killing time.
opposite porsche sit sound whatever
I have this old '57 Porsche Speedster, and the way the door closes, I'll just sit there and listen to the sound of the latch going, 'cluh-CLICK-click.' That door! I live for that door. Whatever the opposite of planned obsolescence is, that's what I'm into.
covered grass playing salmon smoked
stinking from smoked salmon and covered in grass stains from playing in the park, (they) are not going away.
comedic geared specific strength subject tone written
It really was written and geared for a very specific audience, but our comedic strength trumps all of that. The subject matter, the dialogue, the tone isn't right for most of America.
kids opposites waiting
Kids don't say, "Wait." They say, "Wait up, hey wait up!" Because when you're little, your life is up. The future is up. Everything you want is up. "Hold up. Shut up! Mum, I'll clean up. Let me stay up!" Parents, of course, are just the opposite. Everything is down. "Just calm down. Slow down. Come down here! Sit down. Put... that... down."
humor
Nobody enjoys the 'little show about nothing' humor more than me, but that is never the way I look at it.
drop life mind suits
As a comedian, I found this thing, this profession, that suits my mind and life force. To drop it to do something else? I just don't get that.
commercial knows offers
The Internet offers opportunities that are more unique than ever before. With TV, I know I'm making 22 minutes; I know there's a commercial in the middle. With the Internet, no one knows anything. No rules.
advertising against best bowl compared directly number people super
I've done a number of Super Bowl ads. And that is the best advertising of the year. That is when people realize they're going to be compared directly against other ads.
actual comedian experience miss painful spend time virtual
You spend so much time in the world of virtual that the actual - which nothing is more actual than stand-up - it's a painful experience for the audience, and the comedian a lot of time - we miss that.
love people
I do a little thing about the way people shake the sweetener packet. You know, like they're all excited. I want to get all the granules down to one end. I love all these rituals.
advertising gotten
A lot of advertising has gotten worse. I think it's kind of lost its nerve, to be honest with you. I feel like the advertising of the '60s, they were nervier. You know why? Because there was less at stake.
