It's been one of the most important tools for me in personal growth for understanding myself, how I am, and what effect I do have on other people.

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.

When you're standing around for an hour doing stand up it's no big deal but when you're standing around watching a show for an hour - it's a big difference. It's annoying - your feet hurt, your back hurts - it's just not the most comfortable way to see stand-up comedy.

If you're dumb enough to do crack, you're supposed to die. It's evolution.

Richard Pryor is, in my mind, the most honest comedian. He bared his soul to people. I think that's why everybody loved him so much.

Live your life like you're the hero in your movie and right now.

Every single religion that has ever been on the face of the Earth, ever, is a cult. That’s all they are.
