Dick Gregory was a great comedian who went and got arrested, did hunger strikes, protests. It never hurt his career to be outspoken.

I had a sense of who I was before I got famous.

There's a lot of people that I disagree with that I think I could have interesting conversations with. What I don't want to get into is manufactured conflict. I would much rather talk to someone like Dr. Rhonda Patrick or Randall Carlson and be mesmerized by information. I guess in a way that's selfish, or maybe not objective of me. The older (and hopefully wiser) I get the less interested I am in conflict. I don't mind disagreeing with people in a civil way, but I definitely don't want to go out of my way to have an argument unless it's a really important subject.

I prefer older people to college kids [as audience] for the most part. I want people with life experience, people that understand where I'm coming from.

If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember that we are talking monkeys on an organic spaceship flying through the universe.

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 really feel like it's a travesty to make a child famous. I really do.
