In standup, you don't have anything near you except a microphone. There's something a lot more self-conscious feeling when there's cameras coming in for close-ups. It makes you very aware.

It was a free-for-all with music when I was growing up. My mother was a huge music fanatic so I was listening to everything from country to heavy metal to Indigo Girls to Elton John. I guess when I was really young I didn't like Willie Nelson, and she obviously loved him. Now I do too, I'm so thankful to her for playing his music nonstop.

I get kind of, um, bored by all the sexuality and gender labels because I feel like that's where the problem comes in, when people feel that they need to have these particular identities. If you didn't have these labels, and you just acted on how you genuinely felt at any point, then you wouldn't have anything to contend with.

I just absolutely adore Denver and the Boulder area. Having lived there several times, it feels like home to me.

I grew up in a middle class English family just outside London. I wasn't surrounded by that speedy city lifestyle, it was a little mellower.

A man without a family has nothing from life. I need my family in order to enjoy life when things are going well. And when things are not going well, they give me support.

My family is usually the first guinea pigs to try out my new recipes.

I like how collaborative and cult-like filmmaking is. It's really family-oriented, tribe-oriented.
