I certainly don't walk around my home or being with my family and just using profane language all the time, but on stage, it's a constant.

There are very few comics that understand about exciting the crowd, and that’s what I always prided myself on: giving a more confident macho attitude towards delivering material.

I’ve always had my voice as a comic. I was never that into politics, or prop comedy.

Even as a stage performer, I have my garb which is leather jackets and black jeans to make me feel a certain way. The wardrobe is really important to feeling the character you’re playing.

When I do any stand-up, you’re the writer, director, and producer. You’re alone.

Comics, as good as they might be, they didn’t know much about performance. There aren’t too many comics you could watch for an hour without getting tired. They might have good material, but it’s about theater to me.

Being onstage and performing, the high of that, and people coming to see you, and getting to make them laugh – that’s what gets me hyped up. It’s a nervous excitement.

I’m a Brooklyn guy onstage, and I try to really feed my fans with the kind of material they expect from me.

You walk into my bedroom at night, it looks like a nightclub. There’s all kinds of lighting effects, there’s all kinds of music. I want them to feel like they’re in for a show. I believe in romance.

Whether you’re gay, straight, you can’t tell anybody who to love and who to marry. It’s unconstitutional and it’s morally wrong.
