I think it would do a lot of people good just to realize how vulnerable they are.

Any comic like myself owes everything he has to Lenny Bruce. He was the originator. The godfather of uncensored American stand-up is clearly Lenny Bruce.

When women go to see men strip, we never accuse you of hating men.

That's my only goal. Surround myself with funny people, and make sure everyone has a good time and works hard.

People say you can abuse marijuana. You can abuse cheeseburgers. Does that mean we should close Burger Kings.

I think comedy because of the Internet it has a bigger audience, a bigger fan base. It has fans that understand comedy more than any generation before because there is more guys like you, more guys like me, more guys like Louie CK who talks about it a lot. When you get a chance to see perspective that I don't think you ever got to see before.

Stand-up is still my favorite, but the podcast is a close second. It's so fun, and it's given me the oppor-tunity to have three-hour conversations with people I wouldn't have otherwise been able to talk to. When I talked to Maynard Keenan from Tool, I almost couldn't believe it was happening.
