Drugs kill, just like cancer. So don't smoke... tumors.

I know it's the comedian's instinct to say, "Do it, man, nothing's off-limits! It's cool, bro!" I don't know if that's the answer for me. "Do I really want to make a joke about a miscarriage when a woman in the audience might have had one?" I don't worship comedy; at the end of the day I don't fall to the altar of comedy unquestioningly.

The strength of comedy is I don't have to answer to anybody but sometimes you want to learn from other people and see your ideas strengthen by other people.

I'm happy with what I'm doing. I try not to focus on how I've changed. I just try to focus on what I'm doing now.

I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.

I see young people being dismissed for supposedly wanting only "stupid" and "easy" material, or that they don't have an attention span longer than three minutes. I disagree with all those statements; I just think they aren't true. I'm saying that our generation wants stuff that is substantial and challenging, as well as thoughtful and endearing. Well, I don't know if I'm doing that, but I'm trying.

My first concern is that when you go to a show, you should be present. It's much more exciting to put the camera down and lose yourself in it.
