“One of the things in comedy is you have to find your voice. Once I found it, I knew that this is the way for me to do it. I just never question it.” – Ian

“There’s a way things register with me that I know it’s not an accident. When he said it, I knew I was going to do it and never quit.” – Ian

“I always get what I want, I just don’t always know what I want. So once I realize that I have to focus more on what I want so I can get it even sooner.” – Ian
