It's about leadership, work ethic and commitment.

And I was just being a smartass, and I said, "Yeah. They call me, "Tater Salad!"

Everything creative is somewhat collaborative. If you're a painter and someone stretches your canvas, it was collaborative on some level.

I think we all work together on some level, but for the most part, we're on our own.

The biggest piece of advice that I give young comedians is: If it's your goal to get where I'm at, go do something else. Because you'll never get here. Never. The odds are so bad.

I only like the live audience. I don't even like to do standup where it's being filmed. Because it affects the way the audience responds to what you say, because it makes them uncomfortable. You have to perform in a light room, and I prefer a dark room. But I love to perform, and I don't really see myself doing any television at all.
