I've never been in love... But I imagine it's similar to the feeling you get when you see your waiter arriving with your food

People get TV deals by doing something in their grandmother's basement. It is definitely the wave. Everybody is trying to do all that stuff. I mean, the Internet is the only reason that I've gotten work is because I've somehow created a line and people have seen it. And then I've been asked to auditions.

I watch a happy person doing stand-up, and I go, What the hell is this? This person's happy! You need internal conflict. You need the guy to be out of step with society. It's a tool for comedy.

My headshot is a scratch and sniff, it smells like failure and onions.

I love playing a curmudgeon. I just love playing a sour guy.

Actually, I used to be a busboy in a strip joint in New York and so I hate strip joints. I'm not that kind of person.

You write things that are of interest to you. There's no focus group.

'Baskets' isn't a CBS show. Nothing against that, but this is an off-kilter show on cable that the channel lets you do interesting things. Look, if it works, it works. And if it doesn't, it's just a miniseries.

As a comic, it's anti-comedy to be known. I think a lot of comedic actors get lost in this world of Hollywood and all this stuff. They lose what brought them there in the first place. I'm very trepidatious about it.

I don't want my personal life to change. I don't understand why people strive for fame. I know it's ironic for me to be saying this, but this will be the last one I do.

Privacy is big for me. To do interviews even, I have a very love/hate with it.

People are trying to prove things. And I probably have that. I probably do. Probably guilty of it, in a way.

My girlfriend looks a little like Charlize Theron...and a lot like Patrick Ewing.

A good stand-up, you lead the audience. You don't kowtow to the audience. Sometimes the audience is wrong. I always think the audience is wrong.

I wish I could sit back and say, 'Oh, I'm gonna wait for a Merchant-Ivory film to come my way. Or Ivory-Merchant. Whatever it's called. But you just take what's given and then, hopefully, down the road you can be more choosy and only do, say, Wayans brothers movies. That's my goal: to be more Merchant-Ivory-Wayans.

I like dark comedies. That's why I like the Wayans Brothers.

You know it's time to do the laundry when you dry off with a sneaker.

I'm proud of The Hangover, but to be in movies like this, which are really the only places I can get work, it's really quite the opposite of what I am. I like sensitive art-house movies. I'm not even much of a partier. I mean, I'll drink myself into oblivion alone in my car.

My comfort zone is press conferences.

I know my face is turning red. I don't want you to interpret it as being embarrassed. It's rage. The color of my face is rage.
