My humour comes from acknowledging different communities. That’s what my fans are responding to – they know that I ‘get it.’ I understand them. I take the time to understand them. I get more complaints from people when I don’t talk about them. I’ve had guys come up to me after a show and go, ‘You didn’t talk about Latvians!’

There’s always someone who’s going to interpret my material as racist, but it’s not. Racism comes from intent and power. A racist will tell a joke about a group of people only when they’re not in the room. I’ll talk about a group of people only when they’re in the room.

My nursery school did a production of ‘The Three Little Pigs.’ I played the third pig.

My dad turned to my mom and said: ‘Dustin Hoffman.’

It’s nice to have my mother as someone I can talk to about acting. My dad’s a director, so when he comes to watch me on set, he think it’s his set. He’s always telling a production assistant, ‘Can you get me five donuts?’

Nine per cent of my viewers are men, of which the majority is, I think, 45 to 50. I like to tell myself it’s just my dad watching.
