Sadness is poetic. You're lucky to live sad moments. When you let yourself be sad, your body has antibodies. It has happiness that comes rushing in to meet the sadness.

America's a family. We all yell at each other. It all works out.

When I am in a hotel, and I turn off the lights and the TV, I just freak out. I turn the TV back on and don't get any sleep.

I don't know if you've ever had just five dollars in the bank, but I've found that if that's all you have, you can't get it out.

...Then I got divorced and everything changed, and I became a father in a whole new way and found a whole new set of difficulties.

I can feel how an audience is reacting when I'm on a stage, but when you are on stage, your perception is distorted. That's something you just have to know. It's like pilots that fly at high Gs and they lose, sometimes, consciousness and hand/eye coordination and they just have to know that that's going to happen. They have to be trained to not try to do too much while they are doing that. So when you are on stage, you have to be aware that you are wrong about how it feels a lot of times.

You would never do stand-up without an audience. I mean, no one would even consider it. It's like they're the instrument you're playing.
