funny humor garden
My family isn't really Italian. We're more like Olive Garden Italian.
selfish people speak
I've been selfish over the years, and other people who have made it have too, but I can only speak for myself.
art opinion comedy
The ability to workshop in stand-up comedy is incomparable to any art form, in my opinion.
laughing retweet
Essentially, retweets are like laughs.
fun brain disease
The list of fun and easily fixed brain diseases is very short.
thinking sometimes moments
I think sometimes you don't understand how to convey an idea, depending on the moment you're living in.
nice funny-valentines-day kids
I love Valentine's Day. When you're a kid everyone gets a Valentine. It's like 'TO TIM, NICE PANTS, LOVE SCOTT'. It's Valentines galore!
comedy divides
Comedy unites, it doesn't divide!
tragedy different comedy
Comedy is tragedy plus time, but the time is different for everybody.
stars comedy aids
I drank the Kool-Aid of being a network star. Once it didn't happen, I realized it wasn't the best version of my comedy.
people comedian fans
I find my fans are really funny people. Most comedians can't say that about their fans.
stage
Fortunately, I don't talk about politics on stage.
night journey college
When I was in college my improvisation troupe and I did a road trip to Chicago, and went to The Second City to see the classic 'Paradigm Lost' revue - with Tina Fey, Rachel Dratch, Scott Adsit and Kevin Dorff. It blew my mind, and proved to me you can do sketch comedy like you're doing 'Long Day's Journey into Night.' We could treat it like theater.
people admire situation
I couldn't recommend more that people put themselves in a situation where they can see a lot of work that they admire, and for free.
