Going to Catholic school was what fueled me into comedy. The nuns were so brutal so I used to try to make my friends laugh.

There was plenty of dysfunction in my family and I went to Catholic School with these psychotic nuns. I would always try to be funny to lighten the mood.

I've known lots of people that are talented and nothing happens. It's not about talent, it's relentless drive.

Your work is a separate thing from you. You are this person who has your friends and your life, and you have to see the separation. If you see the separation between your work and yourself it's so much easier.

I think the obsession with wanting to change yourself is crazy over the top.

I hate being mean. I watch those roasts on Comedy Central and they make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

I think comedians have a function in society, which is to make fun of our icons.
