I always tell people that if you really want to know somebody, they should listen to that person's interview with me. I spend a lot of time with my guests.

I don't know if I was always an open person, but I think stand-up comics specifically have this way of running towards embarrassing things - whereas regular people tend to run away - because the embarrassing story is always going to be the really funny story.

Comedy is ugly. It's honest, it's raw.

I was born in California, raised a vegetarian, and love science fiction, so don't tell me how I need to be in order to fit your standards. When I was younger, those kinds of comments bothered me, but eventually got to a point where I realized I wasn't going to change who I was.

Karaoke is the great equalizer.

I want to point out, that this is not my fault that everyone's afraid of me, because I did not kill a couple people the other day.

I always wanted to be as busy as possible so that if one job went away I'd still have plenty of other things to do.
