I love having somebody there - that companion thing. You know who you're going to eat with, who you're going to see a movie with.

Stand-up comedy is like the lowest medium in all of show business in levels of respect.

I try to stay with it and I try to stay in contact with comedians and just keep comedians in my life 'cause comedians are their own species. If you get away from them, especially as a comedian, I think it's dangerous.

If you can keep your son off the pipe and your daughter off the pole, you're ahead of the game.

A comedian has to live in his head. All this comedy comes from a lonely place. When you're surrounded by an entourage, you're not living in your head.

You can only offend me if you mean something to me.

I pride myself on being the guy who can do Def Comedy Jam and Charlie Rose. And do well on both.
