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

The only thing I really recommend, if you're starting out in stand-up is to not try to copy anybody else. You can be influenced by people. I was influenced by Steve Martin and Bob Newhart and Woody Allen, but I never tried to be someone else. I always tried to be myself. And the reason people are successful is they're unique.

My style is ambiguous and lucid. I wish to be signified but not summed up. I don't want to have to go over the top each time.

Create your own visual style... let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others.

Discover your own style. Don't try to repeat what has already been written - have the courage to do your own thing and don't be afraid to do something different.

An easy way to find your own style is to exaggerate yourself a bit and then find a balance.

You have to do stand-up quite a long time before you learn how to do it well.

I don't have a specific plan except for as long as people want to listen to me talk, I'm going to keep talking. I can't imagine a life without doing standup.

I'm starting to find my own style.

I'm set up where I make a lot of money doing stand-up, and it's easy.
