Instead of three networks you have three hundred or three thousand. Audiences are inundated with programming, and that sometimes gives them a sense of petulant entitlement.

There's a built-up tension in religion, and if you can release it, you'll get a huge and satisfying laugh.

I'm not religious. I do have a baby - a four-month old girl - and that's a religion in itself.

I was brought up Catholic and, of course, I strayed and repudiated it. That's a painful thing to go through, because you have to look back and realize that you wasted a gigantic chunk of your life.

I don't like the antagonism that most religions have for science, and freedom and, frankly, individuality. I do like the Dalai Lama.

I love that Voltaire was so willing to shock his readers with arbitrary cruelty. And I can completely relate to it.

I guess I started to realize that being an agnostic was such a wimpy position.
