It is not elegant to gnaw Indian corn. The kernels should be scored with a knife, scraped off into the plate, and then eaten with a fork. Ladies should be particularly careful how they manage so ticklish a dainty, lest the exhibition rub off a little desirable romance.
Don't wait for your break, make your break. Go make it happen for yourself.
I put myself in the category of "Lucky Guy," and my hopes for the future are that I can continue to push the envelope for myself, and creatively and see what's next.
You live your comedic life close to the edge, you're gonna cross the line and offend people.
Yeah, I've always considered myself a musical person.
You're happy that people are seeing your work. As for the critics, it really hurts when they knock you.
The idea of doing stand-up is terrifying to me.
Technically, I'm a New Yorker.
Obviously, comedy, or art in general, or television, or whatever you want to call it's all subjective. But I do like to know what people are thinking. I don't know how long I'll keep doing that. As it goes on and on, I might become more fearful of it. For the time being, I'm not opposed to reading what people write.
Still when I go on talk shows, I worry that I have to live up to a comedic persona.
Everyone knows what it's like to feel like the underdog. Everyone wants to be accepted. Ultimately, everybody wants to be loved.
I was the world's smallest man, covered in freckles with a squeaky, scratchy voice. And I still am, but I've learned to love myself.
I went to college to be a jock and to play on the baseball team. And then, I got cut and realized that that was it for that. I was really small. The other guys were really big, on that team. I was a bit of a theater nerd, and I was an art history major.
My parents are more likely to know who Franz Liszt is than Snooki.
Writing is like pulling your hair out. You have nothing, and you can't think of anything, but you have to think of something.
I've never written anything that wasn't somewhat of a collaboration. I don't know how people do it on their own.
Well, you know, I don't think anyone who writes a television series has a master plan from the beginning, and knows all the character traits, and everything that's going to happen.
I'm really into everything. Something I've been asked throughout the years I've done the show is, "What kind of music are you into?" I find that to be a bizarre question, because it implies there are people out there that are only into one specific kind of music. But I think I, like most people, enjoy a wide variety of music.
