There's such a freewheeling nature to 'Second City,' and the greatest thing about 'Second City' was having a sophisticated audience night after night who appreciated what it was. They knew it wasn't all going to be great when you improvised, so they were very forgiving that way.

High school – those are your prime suffering years. They don’t get better suffering than that.

I was sort of traumatized by girls in the third grade. Because there was a girl in my third grade class I had a crush on. I bought her a box of Valentine's Day chocolate. And I put it in her cubby with a note that said something like, I am deeply in love with you, Your Secret Admirer. And I didn't sign my name.

Children are very smart, in their own stupid way. A child's brain is like a sponge, and you know how smart sponges are.

Actors and magicians are both performers and they represent things that are not necessarily who they are.

Image
I don't think something necessarily has to be mean or cynical to represent 'edgy.' I think 'edgy' can mean a lot of different things.

I'm very fast. I'm like Forest Gump, except ... I am not an idiot!

It's nice to find people who live on the fringe, finding one another and she's just unrelentingly funny.

I think in most relationships that have problems, there's fault on both sides. And in order for it to work, there has to be some common ground that's shared. And it's not just one person making amends.

Like most people, I have painful memories of trying to fit in as a child. I wore, said, and did pretty much what everyone else did.

You know, what's funny to one person is not at all to someone else.

Fool me once, strike one. But fool me twice ... strike three.

Everyone said to Vincent van Gogh, You can't be a great painter, you only have one ear. And you know what he said? I can't hear you.

I don't feel that I have to control every aspect of things that I appear in. You learn a lot performing someone else's writing.
