Growing up, it was always, 'If you buy kosher meat, they're killed humanely.' But I've seen so many horrible videos. What we thought was humane 100 years ago is not humane anymore. The ways animals suffer, I just couldn't be a part of it anymore.

Just be your authentic self because there's nothing sexier or more beautiful than that.

My stand-up act is very clean.

I'm not afraid of putting myself out there to someone and then them passing on it. At least you could have gotten a 'yes.' So it's worthwhile to have the cojones to do it.

My father was the king of the joke-tellers. I was so impressed as a child watching him, holding people in rapt attention.

I was over there in Hawaii. I was there on the big island. The 'Big Island' - that name cracks me up. First of all, it's not that big, so I'm pretty sure a guy came up with that name.

My kind of gay is like the late-breaking-lesbian kind of gay.
