In high school I was worried about singing in a choir not being a cool thing, like I want girls to like me so I don't want to do something that's not cool. But, in fact, if you do something you like to do and you're good at it, you're going to find someone who will like you for that reason.

We [me and friends] like to have surprising stories, but the dynamic and the friendship is the same. When you go out with your crew of friends and you get into trouble, at the end of the night when you come home, you're still the same crew of friends. It's just the story that you have to tell.

If you like standup and decide that it's overtaking your life and want to hate it, watch 1,000 standup comedians who are trying to get on a TV show.
