When you're a standup comic, you get up and you try stuff, and you're always kind of seeing how far you can push things.

Sometimes I just like the feeling of being a minority and seeing how far you can push yourself in extreme circumstances.

I'm always interested in challenging myself and pushing and seeing how far I can go.

A comedian needs to have his own filters, needs to know his audience, how far he can push things.

I always focused on being an actor. I did stand-up briefly, but I also did a lot of dramatic work. But since I've been on 'The Daily Show,' people think I'm a comedian. That's not how I see myself.

When I was 12 or 13, I realised I was good, but I never knew how far I'd get.
