mother crazy mirrors
I praticed making faces in the mirror and it would drive my mother crazy. She used to scare me by saying that I was going to see the devil if I kept looking in the mirror. That fascinated me even more, of course.
sorry kids euthanasia
I wanted to be a veterinarian for about a week of my life when I was a kid. But I found out about the whole euthanasia thing and I said, I can't commit to that, sorry!
hundred miles
When I started out. I'd drive a hundred miles to do my act for free.
feelings consumed
The only thing that has ever consumed me is love from time to time. Feeling like, 'What is it? How do I get it?'
believe dont-believe beggar
Not hope, but Faith. I don't believe in hope. Hope is a beggar.
blessing track guy
I have been the guy who has everything but yet is so one-track minded about what I want, that I can't see my blessings.
real thinking special
Comedic actors can be looked at as a lower form because we have to put ourselves in a lower place than most of the audience. I think lofty emotions are somehow considered more special. The best stories in the world to me are the ones that elicit a real emotion, but have humour.
fun pain writing
It's always fun to do something that you know ultimately is not about the money, and it's certainly not the fame because it's a pain in the ass, but it's really the person in the seat you think about when you sit in the rooms and write, and you do all the things you have to do.
talking two aces
There are two thoughts that will ensure success in all you do; (1) Don't tell everything you know, and (2) until Ace Ventura, no actor had considered talking through his ass.
special littles vulnerable
I enjoy my life. The fame part of it freaked me out for a little while, and there are definitely times when it's not so great to be special and known by everybody - you know, when you're wearing the wrong thing, or just in a vulnerable place. But I'm good with my life now.
being-happy passion careers
I've arrived at the place if I'm not taking a career risk, I'm not happy. If I'm scared, then I know I'm being challenged.
men two motorcycle
My social life goes in bursts, where I get like, "Oh, I gotta get out and do something, man, I gotta do something." And I'll plan a trip and go on a motorcycle trip down the Baja [Peninsula] for 900 miles and I'll hang out with my friends for like a month, and then they'll never see me for two months or three months or whatever, and I won't answer any calls.
party late performing
I tend to stay up late, not because I'm partying but because it's the only time of the day when I'm alone and don't have to be performing.
trying might never-been-kissed
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before.
