The more you do stuff, the better you get at dealing with how you still fail at it a lot of the time.

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

Why do people shush animals? Theyve never spoken

I like when things are crazy. Something good comes out of exhaustion.

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

I'm a very lucky person. I'm an idiot, and I've shoveled through life rather nicely so far, so I don't feel like I deserve good treatment.

I was new to acting on a stage in a narrative as opposed to acting on a stage as a stand-up. And like everything else it's just like comfort level. The first time I did stand-up I was at a place called the B3 in New York on Third and Avenue B and I not only didn't take the mic out of the stand, but I clutched the stand of the entire time.
