Understanding listening is an epiphany moment for every improviser. At least for me it was.

I guess that I was always considered a little too weird for the standup clubs and probably too jokey for doing performance art and those places where those are done.

I never liked the glossiness of highly produced standup specials in general - I like it where it has more of a feel of the type of places I usually perform. It seems kind of weird when you do a special to go perform in a place unlike the place where you perform 95% of the time.

People get recruited from sketch groups and put on 'Mad TV' and 'SNL,' but those aren't ensembles, they're all-star teams.

My dad was a poet. He saw the world through unique glasses, with simplicity, spirituality, and humor.

I mostly do faces and sounds. That's what I do. Comedy doesn't have to be art.

I always approach comedy roles pretending they aren't funny.

I like that kind of 'straight-faced' comedy. I like to be straight-faced and outrageous.
