I write down portions, maybe fragments, and perhaps an imperfect view of what I'm hoping to write. Out of that, I keep trying to find exactly what I want.

I keep things pretty simple.

I try to just communicate what I want done as clearly and simply as possible.

My process is I try to learn my lines so they're so solid I don't have to think about them or how I'm going to say them.

I just try to keep it simple, not let too many outside things influence me.

It takes me a long time to write, and I trust myself, so I write very sparsely, so when I do, I know it's good, you know what I mean? Rather than writing a whole bunch and having to sort out what's good and what's not.

I try not to be overly literal. When I'm writing songs, I write down a lot of words, and then I try to simplify it. I like to give people hints or words that make visual pictures for them.

In my stand-up, I generally improvise from an outline.

I'm always practicing lines, researching, trying to be fresh, and fully trying to become the characters I play. That's how I roll.

Because of the accumulation of objects, things are never quite the way I want them to be. There has always been a lack of, well, clarity.
