During my stage shows, I am so energetic. It's constant! I just don't stand still. I actually got given a mic stand from my team to say 'Just calm down. Stand still for at least two songs.' But now I just pick it up and walk around with it.

Being accused of enthusiasm is something I'll never live down.

I don't enjoy doing stand-up. I see it as being like exercise: I feel good about it after I've done it.

When you are enthusiastic about what you do, you feel this positive energy. It's very simple.

Think of it this way: performing is like sprinting while screaming for three, four minutes. And then you do it again. And then you do it again. And then you walk a little, shouting the whole time. And so on. Your adrenaline quickly overwhelms your conditioning.

I've always been full of nervous energy, but I'm not really as happy as I seem.

I like the encouragement I get from doing new things. I like to feel scared or challenged in the hope that I can pull it off. That little bit of fear creates an energy that I can channel into the performance.

People feel good about doing things with you if you're enthusiastic.

Working towards something you're excited about - as opposed to something that makes you feel badly about yourself - is what will keep you going back to the gym.
