There are so many low points with stand-up. You are perpetually humiliated, so it doesn't really matter anymore. I don't have any dignity left to lose. An audience can’t hurt you anymore when you’ve been completely dismantled.

I think I'm just a summer fling that people will soon forget.

I think being an outsider in general always helps you in comedy. I think it helps to have an outsider's eye. And so I have an outsider's voice. You know, as soon as I start talking, I don't belong here. And I think that helps in a way.

Stand-up, for me, is really more of an addiction, so you have to feed the beast whenever you can.

I feel more at home knowing I'm not really at home. It takes all the pressure off you trying to fit in!

Wow. Losing 95 percent of your audience in just five years. That basically makes Obama the NBC of presidents.

I realize how desperate it sounds for me, as a comedian, to ask you to laugh at my jokes.
