I find painting a much slower process than comedy, where you can go a mile a minute verbally and hope to God that some of the people out there understand you. I don't paint every day. I'm not that motivated.

There's an art to comedy.

Comedy will always be central to what I do, it's just an instinct for me, but I am a writer and always have been.

A lot of people think I'm difficult to work with. It's not like I really want to do that much stuff, so it doesn't really matter. I guess I'm somewhat difficult when it comes to comedy.

Comedy was something I picked up trying to perfect my art through spoken word. I got on YouTube just to show off my poetry, and then people thought I was funny, so I ran with it.

Comedy is a comfortable yet challenging place for me. I will always feel an inner pressure to do my best and to improve.

A lot of critics object to what I do, but I got into comedy to make people laugh, and I've always worked hard.

I think it would be harder for me not to write comedy because the comic view of things is the one that comes most naturally to me.

My paintings and comedy have a lot in common. They are both improvisations based on observation.

And if you have great writing, it's really easy, but if it's not so great and you have to work a little harder, I could tell where the work needed to be done but comedy is just fun.
