Everyone who wants to make it in comedy goes to L.A., so a million comedians fight for time on three stages. If you get in there in New York, you're working eight times a night sometimes. Who's going to be funny, the guy who works once a week, or the guy working eight times a night?

I was doing sketches that were funny but socially irresponsible. I felt I was deliberately being encouraged and I was overwhelmed.

Whether it means having a show, or a movie, or just being on a stage, I need an avenue to say what I have to say.

What did the 5 fingers say to the face. S L A P!

You know you must be doing something right if old people like you.

I support anyone's right to be who they want to be. My question is: to what extent do I have to participate in your self-image?

The biggest enemy of an artist is apathy... A kid gets killed by the police and I buy a T-shirt and before I can wear that one, there's another kid (killed) and I'm running out of closet space.
