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 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 just don't want to play the same guy again over and over.
Why can't I love him (a 2 yr old nephew) from afar? That's how I want to love him - through pictures and folklore.
I don't know if you want to see the Everybody Loves Raymond guy in a nude scene.
We see another chapter in his life, you know, not to give it away. But he goes to another place. And, of course, there's a lot of adventure and craziness.
We could send our money but we still feel we could contribute more.
I've always wondered, what am I going to do that's important with these stupid jokes that I tell.
I wanted to do something different, but it's a weird transition you're making here. You're trying to get the audience to come with you.
We couldn't land right away there was a dog on the runway,
I'm a little different from the average dude because I'm on high-def TV now.
I feel very privileged that I am able to do something. All of us saw the images on TV and we said we can send money but we still wanted to contribute more.
It's my insecurity that makes me want to be a comic, that makes me need the audience.
