We focus so much on our differences, and that is creating, I think, a lot of chaos and negativity and bullying in the world. And I think if everybody focused on what we all have in common - which is - we all want to be happy.

I don't consider myself an interviewer as much as an entertainer.

I don't want to take a pill. Go to Africa, go follow some bushman around. He's being chased by a lion. That's stress. You're not going to find a pygmy on Paxil, I'll tell you that right now.

If there weren't blacks, Jews and gays, there would no Oscars. Or anyone named Oscar, if you think about that.

I get to do stand-up every single day. I love that live energy exchange between the audience and myself, and to get to say the things I want to say and comment on.

When your heart is broken, when your heart has cracks in it, it lets the light in.

If you're in a position where you can help other people, there is nothing better in life than helping other people. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
