1. I Drive my Vespa on the freeway. In L.A., you can split lanes, and I hate traffic more than I value my life.

2. I'm a Libertarian, so after presidential elections I'm depressed no matter who wins.

3. I didn't start doing stand-up until I was 28. Before that, I worked mostly as a waiter.

4. I was once so broke, I had to give blood to get money for food.

5. I read self-help books all the time. One of my favorites: See You at the Top by Zig Ziglar
