I'd much rather be liked because people realize that I'm standing up for myself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
As I said, if you don't stand up for yourself, people aren't going to think that you can stand up for them.
And if people do like me, I think it's because I'm a stand-up guy.
I prefer being known for my stand-up because I write it. I love being an actor, and saying other people's words is great. But then, when I do stand-up, I love getting my own point of view out there.
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.
I am not comfortable telling people I am trying stand-up because to me that implies confidence. I'm - well, I'm not.
I don't care whether people like me or dislike me. I'm not on earth to win a popularity contest. I'm here to be the best human being I possibly can be.
The truth is that we don't need everyone to like us; we need a few people to love us. Because what's better than being roundly liked is being fully known - an impossibility both professionally and personally if you're so busy being likable that you forget to be yourself.
You don't worry about being liked. You have to be yourself.
Contrary to popular belief, I'm not always trying to stand out.
I don't like doing stand-up, because I don't like standing up.
