Any acting job that I ever ...

Any acting job that I ever got, I always treated it like I was a neophyte, I didn\'t know what I was doing and I was going to work just as hard as I do on my stand-up.

Quotes from the same author

I like confounding expectations. I can expand what it is I am able to do, and hopefully get to do more weird, interesting projects like this. There's nothing wrong with doing comedies, and I'm not against comedies, either, but I always want to do stuff that keeps me off my guard and gets me out of my comfort zone. And how the audience perceives that... It's out of my hands. And I don't get that frustrated by it, because I'm on to the next thing at that point.

I haven't sworn off Facebook. I'm on Facebook. There's a fan page on Facebook that I will update, but I'm on there myself under a pseudonym, because there were a lot of people able to private-message me on Facebook, and it was getting really weird. And then with MySpace, I just don't read messages. I delete everything, and I just post updates every now and then.

There's no destination. There's no getting anywhere. There's just the going. The key to life is to make the going really fun. Because people that are like, If I just get to this, then boom! And then they get there and there's this dawning of an afterwards. Whereas I'm just always in the going. And it's not a frantic going like, I gotta keep going or I'm gonna go nuts! I can not do anything for weeks or months if I need to and just sit and read books or watch movies. I'm just as fine consuming and absorbing new art as I am trying to make it. But it's all in the going.
