Cats do not abide by the laws of nature.

It is not elegant to gnaw Indian corn. The kernels should be scored with a knife, scraped off into the plate, and then eaten with a fork. Ladies should be particularly careful how they manage so ticklish a dainty, lest the exhibition rub off a little desirable romance.

I never saw myself as a comedian. I saw myself as a guy who can act funny.

I always was a funny guy, the class clown. I had a very funny dad and an extremely funny grandmother.

You live your comedic life close to the edge, you're gonna cross the line and offend people.

Technically, I'm a New Yorker.

I had my own insecurities, which a lot of my comedy would come from, about not being able to live up to their academic expectations. Acting out those insecurities was a way of confronting them, like, “Let me just lean into being a guy who can’t read or write.”
