Ground the main character in stupidity. Hire a good cast and a good crew.

I'm sort of known in the comedy community as Smooth Sailing, just 'cause everything always goes great. I've always had success at every turn. Everything has gone well for me. I've never had a project fail. Everywhere I go, it's What's up, Smooth Sailing?! How are the seas today, buddy? I'm like, Calm as can be!

It's always been about when I do theater, the audience is just a viewer, not taking part in what's onstage. Whereas if you're doing stand-up, it's inclusive.

What one person might see as violent, someone else may see as beautiful. Maybe even art.

If you're doing stand-up, there is no fourth wall you're engaging an audience.

I really just think it's disgusting when people - to actually say that you want to be famous, it's just gross. There's nothing wrong with fame, but to seek out the spotlight just to be on TV for the sake of being on TV, and to put your children on there, I think, is especially disgusting.

I don't mind not having recognition. If it happens, fine, but it doesn't bother me that it's not there.

There were plenty of times some writers would make some kind of stupid joke to each other and then it was on TV that night or that week.
