We live in a society that makes it really easy for these pussies to get by.

I brought something back from those experiences [with drugs] which made me softer, open to other ideas. And I've learned from listening to other people talk about their experiences, from listening to Bill Hicks or reading Terrence McKenna or Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary. But there's always some dumb cop out there who says "We don't need another legal drug and there's psychological addiction and blah blah blah."

If you haven't peed the bed, you haven't taken enough chances.

When someone comes along and expresses him or herself as freely as they think, people flock to it. They enjoy it.

I think there is more comedians now than ever, more venues now than ever. There are stand-ups who live in towns where they don't have many comedy clubs where they are organizing more comedy nights in bars. I just think this is a fantastic time for stand up.

To me, comedy is a great occupation because I don't really worry that much about what other people think of me.

People for the most part can smell lies, at least I thought that until I saw audiences applaud at Carlos Mencia.
