Sometimes you’ll play, like, a large venue – maybe an outdoor venue or something – where it’s so big that you can see all of the disinterested people. You see the audience, but then behind the audience you see people eating ice cream, going for a walk.

Don’t like when sports interviewers force answers: Are you dedicating this game to your sick grandmother? What’s the guy supposed to say?

I think comedy is a good way to deal with anything. I hear about people in the hospital who are ill, and they use humor to help them through it. I think it’s a great remedy for many things.

I try to be careful not to put the cart before the horse. I try not to create comedy for other comedians to like. I want everybody to like it. I want audiences to like it, but I also want comedians to like it. I’m selfish. I want everybody to laugh!

You can poke fun at some pretty difficult circumstances, and it’s just a way to pop the bubble. I don’t do that thing onstage usually, but offstage sometimes I might.

The funnest jokes for me to tell are the ones that are the newest. So I’m just constantly motivated to keep my eyes and ears open and have new stuff.

I wasn’t expecting to really draw in respected comedians but it’s going to happen along the way and I’m truly honored by that.

I’m trying to do things I have never done. Like I recently went to 3 different ballets. And I loved trying to learn how to like those a little bit.

Like, I’m trying to make a statement that clean comedy is somehow better or loftier than dirty comedy, and I don’t feel that way at all. I just think it’s different. It’s different. There’s rock music, there’s jazz music, there’s reggae music: All of those forms are different.

So when you do board, the first class people, they’re sitting there. A lot of them are working as your boarding. They have computers out and calculators. They’re looking up at you like, Hey, we’re making money right now!
