"I do make a concscious effort to be genuine among other comedians. If I write something or try something that doesn't feel like me, I stop doing it."

Previous Quote

I have a very high respect for professional comedians. What they do astonishes me. You have to be really smart and absorb everything, repackage it, bring it back to the person, and make them laugh at themselves. I can make people laugh during my talks because they didn't come to have me make them laugh. It's added value. So my job is way easier than that of a professional comic.
