I don't want to be known as somebody that everybody knows about.

The first time probably people really were aware of me, I unfortunately had the title of Showtime's Funniest Person in America. And that's a really tough title to travel around with when you're not even known.

I wanted to be less well-known in comedy.

The bad thing about being a famous comedian is that every now and then someone approaches me to tell an old joke. Don't tell me jokes - I have that. People also say the weirdest things, sometimes sarcastic things, and even evil things. They like to provoke to get a reaction.

I don't want to be famous for being famous.

I guess people recognize me, but I'm not a household name. Two out of every five people who come up to me know my name. The one thing I don't want is to be followed by paparazzi.

I didn't really want to be a comedian.

I have a thing that I do when I meet famous people, where I try to play it really cool. Sometimes I pretend like I don't know them.

Normally, I name my characters after famous comedians.

I don't want to be famous. I want to tell stories.
