Actor

Everybody asks me what it was like to be in my underwear for my network television debut.

I'm not, like, an action-hero guy.

You just put yourself into your work, and you can do anything you want, depending on how hard you want to work for it.

The moment in which you make somebody laugh, you're only doing it to make them laugh and be happy. Then afterward you can be like, 'Oh, I just want the attention. I feel so good that everybody's listening to me and I got the approval that I need.'

I'm the easiest person to make fun of.

I love Denver.

I told the Mucinex people, 'You picked me because I always sound sick'. They were like, 'Well, it doesn't hurt'.

I do comedy to give people an ephemeral escape from the tragedy that permeates everyday life.

When you spend such a large portion of your life working - and it's not fun, and you're worried about getting sued or fired for saying the wrong thing or for acting crazy at a work party - then what has work done to America? That's the impetus to have a huge office Christmas party.

I'm a stand-up. I'm never worried about getting my next role. That's never distressing to me.

Life is hard. Not great. Kind of tragic.

I don't sit and write stand-up material; I come up with an idea onstage.

It's the comedy that guides me. The acting and all that stuff comes second. It's equally important, but I just try to do that as best as I can.

I was the Head Boy of East High School in 1999. I represent 303 - the area code, not the band - Mile High, until I die. I'm 31, a comedian; I juggle, but I don't glove it. I think waxed mustaches run a very thin line between hipster and 1800s barkeep.

I've stated that it's possible the only reason I'm in show business is that I have such a strange, particular head of hair. That, and I can grow a red beard.

Mike Judge is very specific about how people look in his projects, and I think it's because he's an animator.

I do like the idea of being an auteur in the sense of writing and being in your own stuff.

I was in 'Goodwin Games,' which was canceled, and a few other things, so I kind of swore off television unless I was writing or producing it.

I love Denver.

If there is one thing that makes me unique, it's that I riff a lot.
