I think expressing yourself and working hard can't help but have great results. Look at Zach Galifanakis. He didn't tweet. He didn't have a podcast. He just went out and did the funniest standup you'll ever see in your life. And he was rewarded for that.

Over the years, I really focused on doing the best job I could, working hard, getting great results, and working with my teams.

I was always a big fan of Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner's '2000-Year-Old Man' sketch. I think it's one of the biggest influences on the podcast, definitely. You'd never say Carl Reiner was the funniest dude on there, because he's just teeing it up, but he knows what questions to ask to lead to great improv.

Working hard is great, being lazy sometimes is great, but failed potential is the worst.

When I go running, I see Mexicans working hard.

I've got a great team around me. They keep me working hard; they keep me focused.
