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 I could, I would live in Houston, and I would encourage any comic starting out looking for a good place to develop to move there.

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.

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

So many times I've done a CD, and then the week after I record it, I've got this new tagline that's killer. And it makes the whole bit better. It happens all the time. But that's just the process of comedy.

I brought something back from those experiences [with drugs] which made me softer, open to other ideas. And I've learned from listening to other people talk about their experiences, from listening to Bill Hicks or reading Terrence McKenna or Aldous Huxley and Timothy Leary. But there's always some dumb cop out there who says "We don't need another legal drug and there's psychological addiction and blah blah blah."

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