I try to do something the audience might not have seen before. Like if I'm gonna kiss a girl I wanna kiss her like a girl has never been kissed. Like maybe I would kick her legs out from under her and catch her right before she hits the ground and then kiss her.

   

It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?

   

Either you're the one erasing or you're the one being erased.

One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.

   

My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.

   

If I had never ventured beyond being a stand-up comic, then I would be sitting in my house today working on my Leonardo DiCaprio impression.

My dad was like a stage mother he always pushed me to do what I wanted.

   

For some reason I did something where I realized I could get a reaction.
