At least I want to be making films that are somehow born out of me that are stories I want to tell. The challenge is figuring out how to do it where you can make them personal, yet still deliver to an audience a film experience that is satisfying and emotional, and that's what I'm trying to do.

I think there are three kinds of songs; it's only my theory: psychological, emotional, and spiritual.

I've been doing stand-up longer than I've been doing anything.
