And of course I didn't make any money from stand up for years, so I had temp jobs. That was the way I made money.

I love Steven Wright. I was in high school in the '80s, and there was a lot of stand up on television.

Specifically in stand-up, I love jokes. I love short, structured ideas and a punchline.

Stand up is really fun because if I think of a joke or a funny idea, then I can just go and tell some people and if they laugh, they laugh right away.

I stand up to people.

Stand-up is like a row boat: it's fun and romantic when you're choosing to do it. But if you have no other choice than to be in a row boat it's not as enjoyable; that's survival.
