Stand-up and boxing are very similar. You're the only one out there, you're going into a fight, and you're going in with a game plan.

I think a lot of people mistake my confidence on stage for cockiness in real life, and that's actually farthest from the truth. When I'm on stage, I'm that confident and that cocky because I have a microphone in my hand, and there's a few thousand people staring at me. And I know they're there to laugh.

Who I am on stage is just an amped up version of who I am in real life.

Russell Peters Quotes
