Having the privilege of sitting down and having 3 hour long uninterrupted conversations with hundreds of brilliant people is an awesome perspective enhancer.

I'm really happy that I've been able to make people laugh and distract them from their day to day bullshit at a comedy show or because they enjoyed one of my CDs or TV specials, but I don't know how many people have actually had life changing thoughts because of it.

One of the things that happened is I did a lot of shitty gigs. When you do a bunch of shitty bar gigs you have to get used to people yelling at you, you're used to thinking on the fly, to dealing with weird situations.

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

After this whole acting thing is over and done, you eventually have to be human. Some people are never human. It's very weird.

Our entire civilization is built on a foundation of unfixable bullshit.
