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.

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 you figure out how to be funny by necessity. It's not a natural thing, being funny in the face of tragedy is kind of demented.

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

I think I knew I was funny in Elementary School. I think most funny people realize it when they're young. It tends to come out of stress or trauma - something that makes you want to be funny.

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

I love Kathy Griffin, I think she's brilliant, but for me, there is a line when I go OK, that's too much.
