People always come up to me and say, 'you should do standup.' It's nice to discover things about yourself. That keeps everything lively and fun.

As I said, if you don't stand up for yourself, people aren't going to think that you can stand up for them.

I sometimes lack confidence in public, although I am proud enough inwardly.

I think my confidence stems from my honesty. I'm brutally honest - about everything and even myself. I tell it as I think it. I'm not politically correct. I'm definitely not diplomatic. I get bashed up for what I say, but I don't know any other way.

It's really important to stand up for yourself and not always agree with what people say if indeed you don't feel that that's true.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not always trying to stand out.

I'd much rather be liked because people realize that I'm standing up for myself.

A lot of people think I'm naturally confident. I am not naturally confident!

I certainly direct with confidence even if I'm not confident. I learned early on as an actor that confidence can be faked, and it's not always a terrible thing to do. A lot of times if people feel you're confident, then they're confident.

I think it's OK to be confident in yourself.
