long guy ladders
I've never been one to look up the ladder. I've always looked down the ladder. As long as there's one guy down there, I'm fine.
comedian peers recognition
I was considered by my peers to be a good comedian. So that's all I ever strived to do was get some recognition from my peers.
eye years keys
I have had a front row seat to observe Darren's success over the last few years and never fully knew the keys to his achievement. He has unselfishly revealed his secrets with The Compound Effect so that others can learn from his success. In my eyes, it is more valuable than gold!
two giving two-things
You can only do two things with your life: give it away or throw it away.
men bigs stunned
Naw, man, I like big, hard, throbbing co- (stunned pause) ...I did not know that about myself.
running years vices
There have been times in my life that I've had a ton of vices, and my demons have run amok for years and years and years.
bridges two people
There are two kinds of comics; there are the ones who build bridges, and then there are the people who walk across the bridges as though they built them. The bridge builders are few and far between.
thinking creative working-together
Everything creative is somewhat collaborative. If you're a painter and someone stretches your canvas, it was collaborative on some level. Ultimately I'm the writer for me, but also anytime one of my friends gets stuck with a bit, they can call me and I'm pretty good at helping them get there. I think we all work together on some level, but for the most part, we're on our own.
funny giving i-believe
If life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade....
minutes diamond
Diamonds - that'll shut her up... for a minute!
believe creative i-believe
I believe everything creative is somewhat collaborative.
years ems done
You know, my first album, some of those jokes I'd done for twelve years because I couldn't throw 'em out.
strong odds people
The biggest piece of advice that I give young comedians is: If it's your goal to get where I'm at, go do something else. Because you'll never get here. Never. The odds are so bad. Because not only do you have to be a really, really strong comedian but you also have to be lucky. And most people don't get that combination.
ideas laughing people
I was so in love with the idea of making people laugh for a living that I didn't care what I had to do to get there. Or how much money I was going to make when I did get there.
