My dad goes through war novels like I go through boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch.
Making a film is beyond exciting. It's so exciting, it's exhausting.
allen love woody
I love 'Bullets Over Broadway,' but I'm pretty sure Woody Allen hasn't killed somebody.
level people prize recognize spot
I have a following, but it's small. I have this level of fame where people spot me in the airport, consistently, but they always think they're the only one who ever has. People will think they win a prize when they recognize me.
You have to be delusional to be a comedian.
growing jewish people
When I was growing up, I didn't know who Jewish people were, what it was to be Jewish.

It's interesting how sleepwalking in a certain way becomes an accumulation of your outside stimuli that's actually there and what's happening in your brain.

I've found, being in Los Angeles, it's like living in a live-action Planet Hollywood.
I've yet to write a stand-up show that isn't autobiographical.

It used to be that if you got on 'The Tonight Show,' your career was made. Now, if you're on 'The Tonight Show,' maybe 14 more people show up to your gig in Tulsa.
good jokes line movies promotion psyched publicity tv watch
It's a difficult line to tread, where sometimes you go to the movies or you watch someone do publicity for movies or TV shows, and they do all the jokes that are good in the promotion of it, and you see the movie, and you're like, 'I kind of get it already. I'm not that psyched about it.'
comedians moved nice
When I moved to New York, I was wide-eyed. I was nice to everyone, which comedians hate.

When I met my wife, I was a working comic, so the first week we went out, she saw me perform, and it was very clear what I do.
album mostly saw school steven
When I was in high school I saw Steven Wright, a brilliant one-liner comedian, and I thought: 'That's what I should do; I should write one-liners.' And I did. My first album is mostly one-liners.
