I never let on I was a comedian. I never acted out. It was really important to me, like, to not be Patch Adams. I was so super serious as a doctor, I would bark orders to my nurses. I was hard-core. I wanted to make sure I did my job right. I was perfectly trained to be a physician. You know, it wasn’t a fluke. I worked hard at it. Ken Jeong Read Quote
I think critics tend to think that comedy is freakin’ math. Like, this is the Pythagorean Theorem. They’re not sophisticated enough to know that comedy is fluid, that it evolves, and these organic evolutions are what you have to embrace. Ken Jeong Read Quote
I always say ‘Knocked Up’ opened the doors, and ‘Hangover’ just burst it wide open. To this day, it’s still surreal. And my wife’s a doctor. All our friends are doctors – our close friends. And it’s just that I have an odd job now. I think I’m like a doctor who had a detour, and I just have an odd job. Ken Jeong Read Quote
