When I started making movies about weird people, I knew they were weird, I was infected with irony, and I wanted New York to notice.

No matter what your sexual preference or gender, no one likes a man who is fussy about his looks. You can spend as much time as you want looking good. But don`t do it in public.

I mean, what is prison, really, except a good bar without the liquor?

I haven't changed - the public has. I'm an insider now, which is hilarious.

The only way I've learned to change anyone's mind politically is to make them laugh. My whole career has been about that.

I always feel bad when I meet celebrities and I can just tell every single thing about their personal life, I just say, "Well, they don't have friends. Or a therapist." Once you have both, you don't have to share everything with people, because then you don't have a private life, and then you're, I guess, a workaholic.

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because I don't have to do anything except bring wine and go to my sister's all day and go to the movies with the family. So, actually, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, but there's not much comedy material on Thanksgiving. Melatonin really isn't that funny.
