I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

People who ask "Can I ask you a question?" Didn't really give me a choice, did ya there buddy?

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

With humans it's abortion, but with chickens it's an omelet.

If a piece requires some specific inflection, I'll record it. I take a lot of notes, and later categorize them, combining them alongside existing ideas, and eventually put a piece together.

Someone said, and rightfully, that "property is theft'." There's no way a man can stand and tell me that he owns an apple tree. I just don't believe you. And so this pursuit of position and money and power, they are all wrapped up into one package that I think is crippling, debilitating and limiting. And unfortunately, people get sucked into it and then they've got you on the treadmill. You know: ''You've got to have a good job'' and "You've got to have a good education'' - which is another word for indoctrination. We're never going to rise above these limitations we've placed on ourselves.

I actually was a writer who had the ability to perform his own work as opposed to a comedian who wrote his own material. So that really made me happy and changed my whole perspective.
