I look pretty nondescript. I don't go out of my way to... I don't express my personality with my clothes, with my car or my, you know, house. I express with my personality so as far as what I wear - I don't really care about that.

I'm not saying either one of those is bad they're both great for a very specific kind of comedian. And I'm glad that they both exist.
