“I grew up around women.”

“I was thinking about getting a dog myself, but just one!”

“We met in high school, all in the same grade, and started doing improv and sketch together. That was almost 20 years ago at this point, and that's our identity outside of 'Impractical Jokers.'”

“I like that by inherently having to make a group decision, you're really thorough. And I have a lot more confidence with a decision going forward if I know it's been thorough.”

“We don't really consider it a prank show because we're not pranking other people - we're throwing each other under the bus.”

“The people I respect the most are my peers, my fellow comedians. I want their respect. It's my whole life.”

“We started off in improv and sketch comedy, and with improv the most important thing is to listen and make sure you're not stepping over someone, so we've been trained for such a long time doing that.”

“Some of the best ugly sweaters, people really can't put their finger on the concept of the sweater itself.”

“When we used to do improv, you'd have to learn how to listen and contribute and not talk over each other and learn timing, and you fall into roles where that permeates in your regular life as well.”

“Not a lot of people in comedy grew up together and have been friends for 25 years.”

“Our fans are so rabid, the live shows, they actually feel like concerts.”

“There have been prank shows that have been really elaborate, setting up fake car accidents and burglars. For us, we wanted to strip it down completely, didn't want to do anything that someone else couldn't do - a lot like the Jerky Boys.”

“I had a tattoo of Jaden Smith. A very accurate portrait of a 15-year-old Jaden Smith.”

“I'm all about dissecting everything.”

“We did a lot of stuff just in theaters and we started putting it on the Internet.”

“The comedy community has embraced us, wholeheartedly. People that are more in the public and celebrity, but even stand-ups, sketch people on 'SNL,' those people - and it's been wonderful to have them embrace it.”

“I never mind when I have to put my phone away at a concert. At all. I find I enjoy it much more, so I like the idea.”

“We're with each other 24/7 and that's not an exaggeration. But I think after 25 years it's like you are with your family basically. You're gonna have your dust-ups and fights and stuff, but we're all really hyper-aware of the good fortune we're having and how long it took us to get here.”

“We have a conversation before every season now and we just take inventory. Are we having fun? Can we do things? Can we push the envelope still? Can we evolve the show still? Are people still watching?”

“We're with each other 24 hours a day. We film all week long. On weekends, we go on these tours. If we didn't have fun, it would be a problem.”
