american-comedian beaten confidence nightmare stories strong year
The nightmare stories are all true, but it was good. Made me so strong after that year of getting my confidence beaten out of me.
dreading helps talk
Even when I'm dreading it, I want to talk about it - it only helps me.
funny humorous interests planning sounds trying
Oh, this sounds so obnoxious, ... I'm not planning anything out. I'm just trying to be funny. I don't think any of it's particularly deep. It's just what interests me.
american-comedian high local nightclubs school senior tried year
And then in my senior year of high school, I tried to go on at local nightclubs in New Hampshire, or I'd go on at school assemblies.
camp lots
As a kid, I was terrified. I was a bed wetter, and I had to go to sleepaway camp every summer, which was humiliating and terrifying. I had lots of insecurities and scaredness.
funny
I say 'I'm sorry.' It usually disarms them.
body experience remember
I remember when I got a part on 'Seinfeld' it was like an out of body experience, I was so excited.

Guess what, Martin Luther King? I had a (expletive) dream, too.
people punches safe society space
People need to feel like they're not being attacked, like they're in a safe space where no punches are being pulled.
funny jewish religion religious
I just think of myself as a comedian, really. I mean, I talk about being Jewish a lot. It's funny because I do think of myself as Jewish ethnically, but I'm not religious at all. I have no religion.

I never defend my material. Comedy is subjective.
I'm not the marrying type, but I always want to be with someone who is a fan.
crazy funny prices
This is crazy Donald. When I see the prices at the mall, I just want to vomit.
believe time
I can't believe how much time has passed. The first time I did stand-up I was 17, and I was really a stand-up once I was 19 in New York, and now I'm 41, and I still feel like I haven't found myself onstage.
