time
Every time I could possibly be doing stand up, I am.
parent difficult-times killing
I'm having a difficult time killing my parents
car changed explain feature full life major ways
'Yogi Bear' changed my life in ways that I can't explain because it's not a full feature on me. 'Yogi Bear' - there's everything before 'Yogi Bear,' and there's everything after 'Yogi Bear.' Like a major car accident, or the birth of Christ.
area band east high line mile represent run school thin until waxed
I was the Head Boy of East High School in 1999. I represent 303 - the area code, not the band - Mile High, until I die. I'm 31, a comedian; I juggle, but I don't glove it. I think waxed mustaches run a very thin line between hipster and 1800s barkeep.
figure love matter movies theater understand watch
It doesn't matter to me if I'm in love with my performance, so I watch all of my performances to understand and learn from them and figure out what's working and what's not. And I see the movies that I'm in in the theater a lot.
absurdity bearded food funny laugh mall mask men puts roller slowly
Funny is as funny does, and funny puts on a walrus mask and slowly gyrates in a mall food court. I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates.
amazed dvd famous millions people saw somewhat work
I'm always so amazed by which performances work really, really well and which ones don't. But I think it's just mostly, 'She's Out Of My League,' so many people saw that movie on DVD and on the plane. Just millions of people saw that movie. That's the reason I'm somewhat famous.
anecdotes funny guy havoc line maniac morning promote sees
It's much better to wreak havoc on a show and be a maniac than promote myself. Plugs and anecdotes aren't really in line with my beliefs. Besides, if someone sees me on a morning show and thinks, 'That's not funny; this guy is crazy,' then I don't want them to come to the show anyway.
hard work
You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.
imagined
To be honest, I would never have imagined myself acting on a sitcom that I didn't write.
funny improvise
Most things I get hired on, I get hired because I improvise something funny, or they just think I look weird.
It's always fun to agree to be in a movie when you have no idea what it's actually going to be!
I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.
I think it is very important to be a method actor.
