I've actually been doing stand up for more than 20 years. I started in 1988. It's almost 30 years! Which is crazy.

Have you ever talked to someone, and you're not even really talking to them? Actors are the worst for that.

["Faggot"] is a great word! The whole thing about language is, it's supposed to be broadcasting your intentions. These are my intentions and these words broadcast my feelings. If all of a sudden you have forbidden words that doesn't make the intent any better. It's just appeasing sensitive people.

I'm a huge Groucho fan. There were some great comic minds that would transfer into any generation, and Groucho is certainly one of them.

People for the most part can smell lies.
