I think luck gets you on to the stage. But it has nothing to do with keeping you there.
I look my best when I take my helmet off after a long motorcycle ride. I have a glow and a bit of helmet hair.

Stand-up came out of three things. Frustration, necessity and arrogance. I didn't have a great career ahead of me in anything. Someone literally said to me, 'You should try stand-up,' and took me to a venue.
I've always been someone that sets achievable short-term goals. I've never been someone that's had a five-year plan, or a three-year plan. That just seems to lead to a lot of disappointment, and doesn't give you the chance to be flexible. So I've just always been someone that's sort of reassessed where I'm at, and set goals that are realistic. And luckily, I've had plenty of chances to recalibrate and adjust, and good fortune's come my way.
I'm spending all my time and energy on the project at hand.

I just have an allergic reaction to lung cancer. Gives me tumors.
The day you think you have reached your fullest potential is the day that you havn't.
