I think that many things that go on in an art school have a tendency to undermine confidence, and that shouldn't be part of the ballgame, ever.

I think that I don't panic as much as the folks on the left or the right do. I don't have that sense of panic.

I've always been a social network retard, even before there was a social network. People would say, "You want to go to this party and do some networking?"

I was broke until I was 40. Really broke. I could get by, but I had nothing. No health insurance, so if something happened I was screwed. I was lucky my parents had money and my brother was willing to support me for a long time. Once I started doing standup, I had an income, and that was amazing to me.

I have never thought of my entertainment as being able to bring about social change. I am seriously always looking for the laugh. What it did make me conscious of was having empathy for those without any power in this country. That has always stuck with me.

My favorite health club is the International House of Pancakes

All the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911.
