I find it hard in my general life to think further than the week ahead.

Every empire has to get sucked down the drain. As a British person, I know how it feels.

I was definitely prepared for it to be slower, and it has not worked out that way in any shape or form. I'm grateful as a comedian, and slightly demoralized, occasionally, as a human being - those two things are always very different.

Democracy is like a tambourine, not everyone can be trusted with it.

Teenagers falling off skateboards - funny. Nut shots - funny. Breaking wind - funny. The world cannot change those. Those three things are columns upon which humor is built.

People are always going to say stupid things, and you're always going to be able to make jokes about that, but it should be the last thing you add in, because it's the easiest thing.

I knew I was going to go into the field and make fun of people to their faces. I knew what I was getting into.
