I have the show because I'm insecure. It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.
I have this mistress: show business.
You don't want to shock them and do something totally opposite, but you also want to play a different character.
I feel like this is a dream - and I apologize for how I dressed some of you.
After 'Raymond,' there was this big feeling of, 'What do I do next?'
I do still get intimidated by certain things.
I do what I do because I love it.
I don't think men talk as much as women, but when we have something on our minds we'll get it out.
I don't want to be a spokesman for family values, but that's the way my standup is perceived.
I want to do well and I want to fit in.
I still got my hair, I'm not fat.
I still feel like an immature idiot inside, but I look in the mirror and - as a friend of mine once said- this old guy keeps getting in the way.
I love standup and I haven't given it up.
I lived at home till I was 29.
