Men often struggle with their attraction to other women. They don't quite understand why they have to be with the same woman forever.

I have no idea how it got so big. I was just trying to find something to do while I was living in Boulder, Colorado, which isn't really a funny town. There are a lot of smart people there, but comedy isn't at the forefront of their minds.

I don't remember a lot of what I write. I try to release it after it's out there so that I can be fresh again.

I guess I'm drawn to religion because I can be provocative without harming something people really care about, like their cars.

I find that the creative side of my brain and the archival side of my brain don't work well together. When I've done my best work, I've been in a trance-like state.

As a writer you sometimes feel the need to shake things up.

The people who seem to have a lock on power get swept out in a couple of years. So it's naïve to keep swinging at the same targets over and over. It took me a long time to realize, but most of the shackles that I flailed against were just illusory.
