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

I had a lot of fun writing things that died during dress rehearsal. Sometimes I remember the crazy ones that died even more fondly than the ones that did really well.

"The Doula" was and is a very, very special episode to me because I think it's very funny and very weird and it also is 100 percent based on my life, in that I fainted three times during Sex Ed in real life the three different years.

If you’re comparing the badness of two words and you won’t even say one of them [the n-word], that’s the worse word.

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

There are a lot of great jokes you can sit down and write, but that's just a written joke, versus the comedy of the situation. Ideally, you're pulling as much comedy out of the situation as you can.

You can't always see both sides of the story. Eventually, you have to pick a side and stick with it. No more equivocating. You have to commit.
