The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period.

Part of doing stand-up is to get things off your chest. It's a bit like being in a psychiatrist's chair - but more enjoyable.

Stand-up is the foundation to my career. It's what I started out doing.

The best part about being a stand-up is the connection with the audience. There's nothing more gratifying then when you can make 300 people applaud and stand up - because that's all you.

Stand-up is like a movie every night. You write it, direct it, produce it, the audience votes, and you go home. There's nothing more satisfying.

Stand-up is the only thing I have complete control over. There's something to be said for that.

Some people use stand-up to get something else in their careers, but it's truly the art form of stand-up I love.

I didn't really like the aloneness of doing stand-up.

Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn't have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, 'You should try stand-up,' and took me to a venue.

I realize as I get older that stand-up is a huge part of who I am. I think I'll do it for the rest of my life.
