I come from the place where I am thinking 'I have put my blood on the pages.'

I think anger and laughter are very close to each other, when you think about it.

One of the things I like about a character: I always think it's fascinating when a character can turn on a dime and go from one emotion to another. I like watching that.

Bullfights are hugely popular because you can sit comfortably with a hot dog and possibly watch a man die. It wont be me, but I can sit comfortably and watch it.

The world really changed after 9/11, not just in the tragic way, but in every way. So it took me a couple of years to even understand how my art form I could process any of this. When the world changed, eliciting laughter with subjects that were funny to me before 9/11 just didnt seem good enough.

Your spouse should be just attractive enough to turn you on. Anything more is trouble.

I just like making people laugh, and buried in that I like to bring up topics and start discussions.
