I do things, and other people laugh at them. I rarely know what the joke is supposed to be or why they're laughing.

Being Asian where you're supposed to be more quiet and softer and I was always getting reprimanded for laughing to loud or speaking to loudly.

Sometimes I use my jokes as building blocks for larger bits. I like to draw and play music, so sometimes I do those things along with the jokes.

I'm Irish, so I'm messing all the time. Which means, I'm having a laugh. I'm always making jokes.

I've always been 'ethnic friend,' without any serious moments, all jokes.

I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living.

A lot of the people who live the lives of 'Crazy Rich Asians' don't see the humour of their lives simply because this is just who they are. Even though I'm from that part of the world, I'm no longer part of that world.

My sense of humor often gets me in trouble.

Someone said to me at a party once, 'Oh, yeah, you're a comedian? Then how come you're not funny now?' And I just wanted to say, 'Well, I'm just going to take this conversation we're having and then repeat that to strangers, and then that's the joke. You're the joke later.'
