All you have in comedy, in general, is just going with your instincts. You can only hope that other people think that what you think is funny. I don't have an answer, but I just try to plow straight ahead.

I did plenty of jobs that I hated. I was a bank teller and terrible at it. Furthermore, I parked cars, a valet. Furthermore, I answered phones. Furthermore, I somehow avoided being a waiter. Furthermore, I knew I wouldn't be able to keep the order straight. Furthermore, I'm not much of a multitasker.

I was never a class clown or anything like that, but I do remember being in the first grade and my teacher, Mr. Chad, told the class one day that we were going to do some exercises. He meant math exercises, but I stood up and started doing jumping jacks. To this day, I don't know what possessed me to do that, but all my friends cracked up.

Members of the Senate and House, if they want to send troops into war, should be forced to send a family member. That would really make everyone stop and go, 'HHH-kaaay.'

My dad turned me onto Peter Sellers as a kid. I loved the fact that he was a unique combination of being extremely subtle and over-the-top all at the same time, and that's a hard thing to do. I admire that.

My kind of wanting to be funny didn't come from need, necessarily. The closest I can analyze it is that it was an easy way to make friends, I found out. It was just a great kind of social tool.
