There's something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process.

We shouldn't be afraid to fail- if we are not failing we are not pushing. 80% of the stuff in the studio is not going to work. If something is not good enough, stop doing it.

I've never been afraid to fail.

And generally the shows I'm in fail really big.

Have four things going. I have stand-up comedy, two television shows and I'm working on a play. I like to work, and I fear that something could fall through. You know what they say: 'The show must go off.'

I love shows about creating and cooking. Sometimes they're so extraordinary, you end up setting yourself to fail.

Don't be afraid to fail. You're going to go on a million auditions, and most of them you won't get. It's very easy to think, 'This is not going to work for me,' but keep at it. It's very generic advice, but you have to be willing to keep yourself in the game.

When you go to meetings or auditions and you fail to prepare, prepare to fail. It is simple but true.

The idea of trying to write sketches the same way we did on Saturday Night Live every day would be damn near impossible.
