I'm very vocal about my belief that all religion is garbage. Most of my friends are religious or at least spiritual. These are people I like and I know are intelligent. It's this thing that I carry around. I know I'd be a better person if I was fairer, but it's at the core of who I am and what I believe.

The underpinning of immigration concerns is xenophobia and racism and nationalism.

I hate bumper stickers, you can't sum anything up. All you do is paint yourself in some caricaturist corner.

It's just an easy catchall to describe a style because there are a lot of alternative comics who are completely different from each other.

I've never written jokes. I mean, I'll write things on a piece of paper and riff on them onstage.

I'd be curious to find out, but I don't think people in the entertainment industry are proportionally more or less serious politically than anyone in the landscaping industry.

There is also a kind of mean-spiritedness with LA comics.
