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.

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.

If I was at the Comedy Cellar at midnight you yelled at the back of the room. But you, for television, play it to the camera because yes you're communicating to the people at home using the studio audience that's right in front of you as a guide for that.

On Friday night, it was fun [to know] that if you bombed, or whatever was going on, that you'd be on TV at 11. It was a cool feeling, and you'd get a couple hundred dollars.

It's important to remember that life is a joke and that outlook grants a lot of perspective, but I don't think comedy should change and become political due to other things. It should just laugh at that cosmic joke that life is all the time.

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 do longer runs on things, a lot stories. I really like one-liners, I like a lot of different kinds of standup but I've always been long-winded.
