I will always do stand-up, even if my acting career takes off. Stand-up is my life.

I'm going to continue to try to strike a balance, because I really, really do love doing stand-up, and I don't see why it should affect the acting.

I get burned out on standup. But I like acting. I do like it. But sometimes you just feel like a monkey. You just feel like a complete tool. But I like it. I do like it. Stand-up is just more free. A lot more freedom because you just do what you want to do.

The best part about stand-up is that you control everything. Period. When you work in movies, or on TV shows, there are 50 other people involved.

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.

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.

Live stand-up is my thing. I love being on stage and just messing around.

I enjoy stand-up because it has the biggest reward: instant gratification. You can hear the people laughing.

Being on 'Whitney' is a job, but stand-up is my life. I could never stop. There's an art to it. I love having strangers laugh with me, so as long as I can continue doing that, I'll be happy. Working on a show and collectively sharing ideas with a cast is great, but stand-up is my first love.

I will never stop doing stand-up; that's my career, but I will do movies in Hollywood.
