I was always the squarest person in the cool room, and alternatively, sometimes the weirder person at the mainstream table.

I have a lot of stories about being a kid because it was the last time I was interesting.

Things have to be funny first, and if they want to have a point, that's awesome.

I've always believed that you often need less. You don't need to hear why people are friends, you don't need to hear why people are roommates, you don't need to hear why someone would help a friend to do something.

Excuse me: I am homeless. I am gay. I have AIDS. I'm new in town.

I'm a very straightforward person. But that's fine for a comedian. Because a lot of times you're talking about everyone else.

My standup persona is like I'll heighten things, but I'm observing the world as it is in sort of a heightened emotional state.
