I enjoyed writing for someone else's voice, but I wasn't very good at it.

I loved Stephen Wright, and I loved Mitch Hedberg, but they seemed like geniuses you could never emulate. You'd just be ripping them off.

The driving force behind doing everything that I've been doing for 11 years as a stand-up is having problems with authority and not liking to be told what to do.

That's the worst way you can hear about comedy material: from a third person's blog story that they wrote when they were upset.

When humor works, it works because it's clarifying what people already feel. It has to come from someplace real.

I stay far away from political humor.

Without comedy as a defense mechanism I wouldn't be able to survive.

I would like to explore comedy, I want to do more theatre, and I definitely want a future in film.
