Because I was surrounded by so much negativity at some point that it took me going back and doing stand-up to realize, you know, people really like me.

After a while, a joke, if you say it too much, just becomes contrived, or fake-sounding.

I don't care if I ever work in TV again.

At the time, I was reading this Miles Davis book, and he was talking about coming to New York right after he was in high school. It kind of made me feel like, "Yeah." I didn't want to go to college; I wanted to do stand-up. And I figured, "What's the point of doing stand-up around DC? I'm always going to be under-appreciated there because I started there." I felt like I was strong enough and unique enough that I should give it a big leash to shine. New York was the best thing that ever happened to me as a comedian.

You get sick of jokes, you know. Either I do them on TV, and then you worry, like, "Oh, everyone's gonna see it," so you chuck it, or you just get sick of saying it. After a while, a joke, if you say it too much, just becomes contrived, or fake-sounding.

Chivalry is dead. Women killed it.

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