Making people laugh and having people hang onto your every
word, only to get them at the end is the best feeling in the world; even
better than sex.

Racial topics or anything that defames a person only to make
myself look good.
Where do you see yourself in five years?
Writing/producing a television sitcom.

Nothing bothers me more than people who don't have faith in their own material/work.
If you think it doesn't work, how can you expect anyone else to think it
works?
