Silences are the most underrated part of comedy.

I don't really dissect comedy. Nothing kills off humor more than overanalyzing it.

The odd thing about comedy is that the more personal you are, the larger the audience.

The thing about stand-ups is you can't really get good unless you're failing in front of a large number of people. That makes stand-up comedy unique: you need a tremendous amount of reserve within you to take the rejection from the audience, and without it, you can't do anything.

I started writing this feature comedy in New York - a Chris Farley vehicle. The script was decent. When I got to LA, I met some new friends in film school and had them read my script and give me notes.

Beaujolais is so underrated.
