It's weird writing for a documentary because I have all these ideas for what I want to happen, but what actually happens is obviously completely different. ”

I definitely have friends who gave me a tag for a joke I already had. Like, 'Here's another line.' A tag is, 'Oooooh, it's an industry term.' It's like, there's the punchline, and a tag is like a secondary punchline. ”

There's a difference between hiring writers and stealing jokes. ”

Everybody wants to be Doug Stanhope; everybody wants to be Bill Hicks - and those are great people to aim for, but they had the fundamentals down. They knew how to be funny. ”

The goal is doing stand-up on TV somewhere, which is what I'm working on. Something on latenight or Comedy Central, but - I dunno, something. It could happen, it could not happen. ”

I wanna be funny, but if I have a chance to make a point while being funny - why not? ”

If you have any sense, if you're any good at comedy, you come to Austin. ”

I was living in upstate New York, in Kingston - small town, no comedy scene except for my friends and I doing these DIY shows and whatnot. And we put together this thing called the 'Altercation Punk Rock Comedy Tour.' ”

Kansas City, well, part of the town's pretty cool, and part of the town is not. But it's gonna be that way no matter where you go. ”
