I like my leaders smart and serious. I don't need a stand-up comic.

I'm not a joke guy; I'm not a stand-up comic.

As a stand-up comic, you have to do the road.

My dad has a dry, deadpan sense of humor, and my mom has an unexpected, wacky take on things. They really encouraged laughing at ourselves and the weirdness of situations that come up growing up in politics.

When my father became vice president, I was a sophomore in high school. I'd do things like go on a run with my soccer team and purposely dodge the security van. Then my parents compromised with the Secret Service when I went to college. I just had a panic button in my dorm room, so if I pressed that, they'd be there within 2 or 3 minutes.

You don't need to be stable to be a stand-up comedian.
