I think we love watching people that are flawed because we're all flawed.
But I believe that there are marriages where you can have your pool table and she can have her scrapbooking room or garden or whatever it is. But when everyone has what they want, it's not funny. There's no conflict.
I come from the world of improv; I love any show or any vehicle that gives me an opportunity to be in the moment.
I feel very, very grateful. I'm a lucky guy, you need a lot of luck, and then when the cameras roll, you have to have this group of writers, directors, and actors that just gel, and it seems to literally be happening more and more.
I think as any artist you always want to grow; you always want to get better.
I'm the type of guy that feels pressure when I have to order dinner. I'm just that type of guy but that's my fuel. I work well with pressure.
It's like whether you're in a huge movie or you've just recorded an incredible album you've got to do the next thing, and that's part of being an artist.
You have a bad day at the office, four people know. You suck in a movie, everyone knows.
Standup is really the only thing in the entertainment business that you do totally alone.
I'm totally, totally into old Vegas.
Athletics are not my wheelhouse because sports were mean to this uncoordinated kid growing up, a 6-foot-2 14-year-old who never could do a layup.
I am so fascinated and taken by the Golden Knights.
Sports were never my thing.
In standup, it's just you. You're your own writer, your own critic, your own director, and it's never the same. You really don't always have it down. Your continue to learn, you continue to risk, and I really love it.
My act is a little raunchy. When people come to my club, I have to warn them it isn't Robert from 'Raymond.'
I don't think we're politically correct when we're private. I don't know what 'politically correct' means.
There's not a day that goes by where I don't think, 'Oh, I'm a lucky pup.'
I was a 6-foot-tall 13-year-old who couldn't play basketball. I moved around all the time as a kid, and at each new school, the coach would say, 'He's the great white hope' - but I couldn't play ball. So my thing was jokes and characters and making fun of myself and being the 6-foot-9 Jewish guy. That was my way into show business.
I became a stand-up because that was my survival.
I'm not big on game shows.
